AWS Usage Options

• Programmatic
  • when we use AWS from SDK or CLI we consider it programmatic
  • We need access key id and secret access key to connect to AWS account
• Console
  • When we use AWS from Browser we use console Refer Here
  • We need username and password to connect
    

Lets create a user for console access using AWS IAM

• We will be creating users without any permissions.
• Login into aws console with root account or admin account.
  
• Navigate to IAM => Users and create user
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Navigate to any service and the user will not have permissions
  

IAM Policy

• IAM Policy defines the permissions which can be assigned to user or role or group
• AWS Provides built in policies and it also gives us the option to create custom policies.
• Now lets assign a built in policy called as administrator to admin user created above.
  
  
  
  
  

IAM Groups

• Create IAM Groups to manage permissions for multiple users at one place
• As we have done in the class, add multiple users to a Group and manage the permissions at one place.
