Managing AWS Managed Microsoft AD administrative permissions using your existing Microsoft AD users enables administrators to sign in to your managed directory using their existing Microsoft AD credentials and perform administrative tasks, such as adding users, configuring fine-grained password policies, and enabling Microsoft enterprise Certificate Authority.
The new AWS Managed Microsoft AD delegated security groups are available in all AWS Regions where AWS Managed Microsoft AD is offered.
