# AWS adds role-based tool layouts to SageMaker Unified Studio

_Published Friday, November 13, 2026 at 4:12 PM EST · AI · Latest · Tier 2 — Notable_

AWS says Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now lets domain administrators determine which tools project members can see through layouts assigned to their designations. Each layout applies across every project in the domain, replacing an interface that previously looked the same for all members.

Members who navigate directly to a hidden page receive an access-denied page. The feature is available in all AWS Regions offering Unified Studio. Members with multiple designations see the combined tools from those layouts; newly added navigation items remain hidden in configured layouts until an administrator adds them.
