限制对部署到AWS ElasticBeanStalk的FLASK应用程序的访问

Question

I want to restrict access to view my Flask Webpage to only specified AWS users. Say I am doing a project for school, I follow the Aws Tutorial for deploying flask app , however once the app is published. Anyone can consume and post to the flask restful service.

I want to do the following

• Lock it down so only logged specific IAM users can view and run the rest service.

I am aware and tried using SSH to lockdown the in/out bound traffic to a specific IP. however I want to only lock it down to specific IAM groups for now. so say when someone tries to go to my application, amazon redirects for them login.

the site is the following, I want to restrict access to only specific roles or groups http://XXXX-XXXX.us-east-1.elasticbeanstalk.com/

Thanks.
