Customise your AWS Administration Console expertise with visible settings together with account colour, area and repair visibility

In August 2025, we launched AWS Consumer Expertise Customization (UXC) functionality to tailor consumer interfaces (UIs) to satisfy your particular wants and full your duties effectively. With this functionality, your account administrator can customise some UI part of AWS Administration Console, corresponding to assigning a colour to an AWS account for simpler identification.

In the present day, we’re asserting further customization functionality in UXC that allows selective show of related AWS Areas and companies on your staff members. By hiding unused Areas and companies, you’ll be able to scale back cognitive load and remove pointless clicks and scrolling, serving to you focus higher and work quicker. With this launch, we provide the flexibility to customise account colour, Area, and repair visibility collectively.

Categorize account by colour

You may set a colour on your accounts to visually distinguish between them. To get began, sign up to the AWS Administration Console and select your account identify on the navigation bar. Your account colour isn’t set but. To set the colour, select Account.

Within the Account show settings, choose your most popular account colour and select Replace. You may see the chosen colour within the navigation bar.

By altering the account colour, you’ll be able to clearly distinguish the account’s function. For instance, you should use orange for improvement accounts, gentle blue for take a look at accounts, and purple for manufacturing accounts.

Customise Areas and companies visibility

You may management which AWS Areas seem within the Area selector or which AWS companies seem within the console navigation. In different phrases, you’ll be able to set to point out solely the Areas and companies which are related to your account.

To get began, select the gear icon on the navigation bar and select See all consumer settings. In case you are in an administrator position, you’ll be able to see a brand new Account settings tab within the unified settings. When you have not configured a setting, all Areas and companies are seen.

To set seen Areas, select Edit within the Seen Areas part. Choose your seen Areas to All accessible Areas or Choose Areas and configure your listing. Select Save adjustments.

After configuring seen Area setting, you can find solely chosen Areas within the Areas selector on the navigation bar within the console.

You may also set seen companies in the identical manner. Search or choose companies from the class. I used the Standard companies class to pick my favorites. If you end choice, select Save adjustments.

After configuring seen companies setting, you can find solely chosen companies within the All companies menu on the navigation bar.

If you search the service identify within the search bar, you’ll be able to solely select chosen companies.

The Areas and companies visibility settings management solely the looks of companies and Areas within the console. They don’t prohibit entry by means of the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), AWS SDKs, AWS APIs, or Amazon Q Developer.

You may also handle these account customization settings programmatically with new visibleServices and visibleRegions parameters. For instance, you should use AWS CloudFormation pattern template:

AWSTemplateFormatVersion: "2010-09-09"
Description: Customise AWS Console look for this account

Assets:
  AccountCustomization:
    Kind: AWS::UXC::AccountCustomization
    Properties:

        - ec2
        - lambda
      VisibleRegions:
        - us-east-1
        - us-west-2

And you’ll deploy your Cloudformation template.

$ aws cloudformation deploy 
  --template-file account-customization.yaml 
  --stack-name my-account-customization
