  • Enables the Session Manager capability that lets you manage your Amazon EC2 instance through an interactive one-click browser-based shell or through the AWS CLI.
  • Beginning this agent version, SSM Agent will create a local user "ssm-user" and either add it to /etc/sudoers (Linux) or to the Administrators group (Windows) every time the agent starts. The ssm-user is the default OS user when a Session Manager session is started, and the password for this user is reset on every session. You can change the permissions by moving the ssm-user to a less-privileged group or by changing the sudoers file. The ssm-user is not removed from the system when SSM Agent is uninstalled.
