Create an IAM user

- [Instructor] In this demonstration,…we're going to look at how to create a user within IAM.…Now we're logged into the AWS console,…and we're logged in as the root user account,…and as you recall, this is not an account…that we want to use for our daily administration,…so we need to first create a new user account…for us to login and do our other work,…so first step, let's try and find the IAM.…Now on this page, we can scroll down, and we can find IAM,…or we can go up here to the top under Services,…and we can see the same kind of menu system,…so looking over to find IAM, we know it's a global service,…and it's going to be under Security,…so if we go over here, we can see IAM.…

Now once IAM loads up, it's going to give us some information…about the different accounts that are in here,…as well as a bit of a health check,…so you can see right now that I'm logged in as root,…and it's telling me that, well,…I'm doing something that I probably shouldn't.…We don't have multi-factor…authentication enabled on this account.…
