AWS CodeCommit employs several security mechanisms to protect repositories, including AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), encryption, and HTTPS/TLS. IAM enables granular access control by creating policies for users or groups, specifying allowed actions and resources. Encryption is applied both at rest (using AWS Key Management Service) and in transit (HTTPS/TLS).
To grant access to multiple developers, follow these steps:
1. Create an IAM group for the developers.
2. Attach a policy defining CodeCommit permissions to the group.
3. Add individual developer IAM user accounts to the group.
Alternatively, federated access can be used with external identity providers like SAML 2.0 or OpenID Connect, allowing developers to use existing credentials.
