AWS - Create Admin IAM User and Group
In this blog post I will be showing you how to create an admin IAM user ID with Administrator access so that you do not have to log into the management console as the root user unless necessary which follows best practices.
 |
| Click Services then click IAM |
 |
| Click Users then click Add User |
 |
| Click the corresponding check boxes as to whether you want programmatic access, AWS Management Console Access, or both |
 |
| Use either an autogenerated password or make a custom password, check whether you want the user to be forced to make a new password at next log on then click Next |
 |
| Click Create Group |
 |
| Type a group name, check the box for AWSAdministratorAccess then click Create User |
 |
| Click Next |

Add a tag if desired then click Next
