# Identity and access management for Elastic Beanstalk
<a name="security-iam"></a>

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is an AWS service that helps an administrator securely control access to AWS resources. IAM administrators control who can be *authenticated* (signed in) and *authorized* (have permissions) to use AWS Elastic Beanstalk resources. IAM is an AWS service that you can use with no additional charge.

For details on working with IAM, see [Using Elastic Beanstalk with AWS Identity and Access Management](AWSHowTo.iam.md).
