# IAM Identity Center Application Provider

IAM Identity Center Application Provider in AWS represents an external application that can be integrated with AWS IAM Identity Center (formerly AWS SSO). It defines the configuration and metadata needed for establishing trust and enabling single sign-on between AWS and the third-party application. This resource helps manage how users access external applications through IAM Identity Center, ensuring secure authentication and streamlined user access management.
