We’ve created a step-by-step guide to help you connect your Kiro Startup Credits to your organization’s billing and set up team access. Instead of managing separate billing, you can use one unified system through AWS IAM Identity Center.
Prerequisites
Approved Kiro for startups application (check your email)
Access to the AWS account you specified in your application (you must be the account owner or have admin access)
AWS Console access with the email from your application
Active email addresses for all team members
Step 1: Access IAM Identity Center
Sign into the AWS Console using the email associated with your AWS Account ID provided in your application. In the search field at the top, search for “IAM Identity Center” and select it.

Fill in the required data for each user. The most important field is an active email address, which will be used to set passwords and receive notifications.
Step 4: Set up authentication
Follow the instructions to set up authentication for each user. When prompted to select an authentication method, use an MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) app if available for enhanced security.

Important for team members
When onboarding your team, ensure each member follows these critical steps:
Cancel individual accounts: If they have existing paid Kiro individual accounts, cancel them first to avoid duplicate billing
Sign out completely: Sign out of Kiro on all devices
Sign in with organization identity: Use the "Sign in with organizational identity" option and the sign-in URL from your Kiro dashboard
Verify the plan: Check that they see the organization's plan and credits, not an individual account
Step 7: Monitor usage and billing
You can track your usage and costs directly in the AWS Console's Billing and Cost Management service. Kiro expenses will be listed under the service charges.

Your AWS credits will automatically be applied to Kiro usage, and you can monitor credit consumption through the AWS billing dashboard.
