AWS Management Console now displays Account Name on the Navigation bar for easier account identification

Today, AWS announces the general availability of displaying account name in AWS Management Console across all Public Regions. AWS customers now have an easy way to identify their accounts at a glance. Users can now quickly distinguish between accounts visually using the account name that appears in the navigation bar for all authorized users in that account.

AWS customers manage multiple accounts to separate their workloads, such as maintaining distinct accounts for development and production environments or for different business units. Previously, users had to rely on account numbers to identify accounts. With this new feature, all authorized users can quickly identify the account using its name on the navigation bar.

The account name display feature is available at no additional cost in all public AWS Regions. To get started, make sure your administrator has enabled the feature (visit our managed policy documentation) and sign in to AWS Management Console.
