The problem it solves

Setting up or removing access for a team member in AWS means logging into the console and clicking through account settings, which is easy to put off when you're busy. Waiting on IT to make a quick access change slows everyone down.

Who it fits

An IT admin or small technical team that manages AWS user access and wants routine account changes handled without logging into the console.

How it works

  1. You send an email with a command such as create user or add to group
  2. The system reads the email and works out which action to take
  3. It looks up the relevant AWS user or group details
  4. The requested change, such as creating, updating, or removing a user, is applied in AWS
  5. A confirmation email is sent back once the change is complete

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
