Can IAM users pay for my AWS account?

I have domains, instances, and buckets open in my AWS account — some of which work with databases.

I can’t pay monthly for all these services because some of them are not my own - I did them as work for others. And instead of trying to transfer the calculation and the database to another instance on another account, I would like the IAM user to pay his credit card for the services belonging to him.

Can IAM users pay for my AWS account monthly? If so, how?

No. There is no mechanism for what you want.

You might be interested in Amazon DevPay , which is similar to what you are asking for. But I think that you are doing contract work for individuals, and DevPay is more focused on providing an AWS-like service on AWS and selling it to other developers.

Another direction is to get your customers to create an AWS account. If you want to be a fantasy, you can use Consolidated Billing to create a sub-account under your control, but exposed to the client. I think this is best for consulting work, but getting the current setup from you will be painful.

There are several services (S3, ..) where you can allow the client to pay for the call, and for the rest I believe that your account belongs only to you. What I do represents detailed billing, and I allow the company to recover costs.

You may need to migrate your environment. If your clients are not professional aws users, you might want to create a cloud-based script that allows them to run and access the environment in a few clicks.
