Subscription & User Management #

Q. Why can’t I find a user I created in Identity Center when searching in the subscription interface? #

Don’t search using username or email, please search using Display name.

Q. Where can I see the subscription status of all users? #

Currently, the Users Tab in the Amazon Q Developer console can only show the status of users subscribed individually. Users subscribed through Group method cannot be displayed. If you want to see the subscription status of all users, you can view it through the Amazon Q console.
