# Identity Store Group

An Identity Store Group in AWS represents a collection of users within the AWS Identity Store service. It is used to organize users into logical groups for easier management of access and permissions across applications and services. Groups simplify administration by allowing policies and roles to be assigned collectively rather than individually to each user.
