# AWS Management Console Private Access
<a name="console-private-access"></a>

AWS Management Console Private Access is an advanced security feature to control access to the AWS Management Console. Console Private Access is useful when you want to prevent users from signing in to unexpected AWS accounts from within your network. With this feature, you can limit access to the AWS Management Console only to a specified set of known AWS accounts when the traffic originates from within your network. Console Private Access is also useful when you want to ensure that all calls from the AWS Management Console to AWS services originate from within your network and from allowed accounts.
