A Somewhat Underwhelming New Feature: Region and Service Visibility Settings in the AWS Management Console
AWS has introduced new visibility settings in the Management Console that allow account-level customization of which regions and services are displayed. These settings are part of the Account User Experience Customizations (UXC) and can be configured via the console or AWS CLI. While the feature offers more control over the console interface, it does not restrict API access and may mislead users about its scope of application.
- ▪AWS now allows account-level configuration of visible regions and services in the Management Console.
- ▪The settings apply to all IAM entities, including users, roles, Identity Center users, and the root user.
- ▪This is a display-only feature and does not restrict actual API access to services or regions.
- ▪The console UI initially suggests the settings are user-specific, but they are actually applied account-wide.
- ▪The feature is accessible via the console's Unified Settings tab or through the AWS CLI command 'aws uxc update-account-customizations'.
