Step-by-Step Guide to Creating an IAM User in AWS

Step 1: Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the IAM console at .

Step 2: In the navigation pane, choose "Users" and then select "Add user."

Step 3: Enter the user name for the new user. This will be the sign-in name for AWS.

Note: User names can include up to 64 letters, digits, and the following characters: plus (+), equal (=), comma (,), period (.), at sign (@), and hyphen (-). Names must be unique within an account.

Step 4: Select the type of access this user will have. Choose "Programmatic access."

Step 5: Click "Next: Permissions."

Step 6: On the "Set permissions" page, specify how you want to assign permissions to this user. Select "Attach existing policies directly."

Step 7: Search for "AmazonS3FullAccess," select it, and then click "Next: Review."

Note: If you are familiar with IAM Policies, you can create a custom policy that matches your needs and security requirements.

Step 8: To view the user's access keys (access key IDs and secret access keys), choose "Show" next to each password and access key that you want to see. To save the access keys, choose "Download .csv" and then save the file to a secure location.

Important: This is your only opportunity to view or download the secret access keys. You must provide this information to your user before they can use the AWS API. Save the user's new access key ID and secret access key in a safe and secure place. You will not have access to the secret keys again after this step.

Step 9: Include your Access Key and Secret Access Key in the AWS Credentials Settings tab in the admin panel as shown below.
