We overuse identity as an important thing in computing. AWS does have problems with IAM of course, but we need to accept that adding human identities everywhere in what is largely a system of computers and applications talking to each other is a security mistake, we need the fine grained delegation of access control, and capabilities. Just because I control some aspect of a program does not imbue it with any sense of my identity. Roles, capabilities, all these are more important than identities. They should be able to talk to you as a person for marketing or conferences yeah, thats a different thing.
