IAM user

An IAM user is an entity you create in AWS. This user is an identity within your AWS account that's granted specific custom permissions. Your IAM user credentials consist of a name and password used to sign in to the AWS Management Console. For step by step instructions on how to sign in, see Sign in to the AWS Management Console as an IAM user.
