Policy: AWS > Well-Architected Tool > AWS Well-Architected Framework > Security > SEC 02. How do you manage identities for people and machines? > Leverage user groups and attributes

Place users with common security requirements in groups defined by your identity provider, and put mechanisms in place to ensure that user attributes that may be used for access control (e.g., department or location) are correct and updated. Use these groups and attributes, rather than individual users, to control access. This allows you to manage access centrally by changing a user’s group membership or attributes once, rather than updating many individual policies when a user’s access needs change.

See Leverage user groups and attributes for more information.
