IAM Group

An IAM (Identity and Access Management) group is a logical collection of IAM users within an AWS account. Permissions—attached to the group via policies—apply to every user who is a member, making it easier to manage access at scale. Because groups do not have their own security credentials, they cannot be used to log in directly; instead, they serve solely as a mechanism for permission inheritance and simplified administration. For full details, refer to the AWS documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_groups.html
