Using the Claude Console
Claude Platform on AWS uses the standard Claude Console at platform.claude.com. When you sign in from the AWS Console, an Account managed by AWS indicator appears in the bottom-left of the Claude Console sidebar and the Console scopes to your Claude Platform on AWS organization. It provides usage analytics, cost breakdowns, rate limit visibility, workspace management, and pages for managing files, Agent Skills, batch jobs, and Claude Managed Agents resources (agents, sessions, environments, credential vaults, memory stores, and webhooks).
Signing in
Access to the Claude Console is federated through AWS IAM. See Set up your account for the full first-time sign-in flow. In short:
- Assume an IAM role with the
aws-external-anthropic:AssumeConsolepermission. See IAM actions for Claude Platform on AWS. - Navigate to the Claude Platform on AWS page in the AWS Console.
- Choose Open Claude Console. The AWS Console issues a JWT and redirects you to
platform.claude.com. - On first sign-in, you're prompted for an email address. Enter your work email. The platform provisions your Claude Console user just-in-time.
Two Claude Console roles are available: Admin and Developer. The Admin role grants access to all Claude Console pages and settings available for Claude Platform on AWS. The Developer role grants read access to usage, cost, rate limit, and workspace information. Contact your Anthropic account representative to assign the Admin or Developer role to a principal.
Available pages
The Through AWS gateway column indicates whether the page reads and writes data through the AWS gateway (and is therefore governed by IAM actions). Pages marked No read organization-level metadata directly from Anthropic and bypass IAM action checks.

|---|---|---|---|
| Usage | Yes | No | View token usage by model, workspace, and dimension. Data can take a few minutes to appear after a request. |
