Setting up Amazon Personalize

Before using Amazon Personalize, you must have an Amazon Web Services (AWS) account with an administrative user. After you set up the required permissions, you can access Amazon Personalize through the Amazon Personalize console, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or the AWS SDKs.

Sign up for an AWS account

If you do not have an AWS account, complete the following steps to create one.

To sign up for an AWS account

  1. Openhttps://portal.aws.amazon /billing/signup.

  2. Follow the online instructions.

    Part of the sign-up procedure involves receiving a phone call and entering a verification code on the phone keypad.

    When you sign up for an AWS account, anAWS account root useris created. The root user has access to all AWS services and resources in the account. As a security best practice, assign administrative access to a user, and use only the root user to performtasks that require root user access.

AWS sends you a confirmation email after the sign-up process is complete. At any time, you can view your current account activity and manage your account by going tohttps://aws.amazon /and choosingMy Account.

Create a user with administrative access

After you sign up for an AWS account, secure your AWS account root user, enable AWS IAM Identity Center, and create an administrative user so that you don't use the root user for everyday tasks.

Secure your AWS account root user

  1. Sign in to theAWS Management Consoleas the account owner by choosingRoot userand entering your AWS account email address. On the next page, enter your password.

    For help signing in by using root user, seeSigning in as the root userin theAWS Sign-In User Guide.

  2. Turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA) for your root user.

    For instructions, seeEnable a virtual MFA device for your AWS account root user (console)in theIAM User Guide.

Create a user with administrative access

  1. Enable IAM Identity Center.

    For instructions, seeEnabling AWS IAM Identity Centerin the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.

  2. In IAM Identity Center, grant administrative access to a user.

    For a tutorial about using the IAM Identity Center directory as your identity source, see Configure user access with the default IAM Identity Center directoryin the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.

Sign in as the user with administrative access

  • To sign in with your IAM Identity Center user, use the sign-in URL that was sent to your email address when you created the IAM Identity Center user.

    For help signing in using an IAM Identity Center user, seeSigning in to the AWS access portalin theAWS Sign-In User Guide.

Assign access to additional users

  1. In IAM Identity Center, create a permission set that follows the best practice of applying least-privilege permissions.

    For instructions, see Create a permission setin theAWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.

  2. Assign users to a group, and then assign single sign-on access to the group.

    For instructions, see Add groupsin theAWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.

Regions and endpoints

An endpoint is a URL that is the entry point for a web service. Each endpoint is associated with a specific AWS region. Pay attention to the default regions of the Amazon Personalize console, the AWS CLI, and the Amazon Personalize SDKs, as all Amazon Personalize components of a given campaign (dataset, solution, campaign, event tracker) must be created in the same region. For the regions and endpoints supported by Amazon Personalize, seeRegions and endpoints.
