Configure Deployment User

1. Sign in to your AWS Root Account
   Open the AWS Console and click on Sign in. Figure 1: AWS Console login page.
2. Enter your root user email address
   This should be the same email used to create the AWS account. Figure 2: Root account email entry.
3. Open CloudShell
   Click the terminal icon in the AWS Console’s top-right navigation bar to launch CloudShell.

4. Run IAM Setup Commands
   Paste the following block into your CloudShell terminal:
   aws iam create-user --user-name fjall --tags Key=Description,Value="Fjall management account user"
   aws iam attach-user-policy --user-name fjall --policy-arn arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AdministratorAccess
   aws iam create-access-key --user-name fjall
   
   
5. Confirm Execution
   AWS will prompt you to confirm the commands are safe. Review the snippet and click Run when ready.

   💡 Tip:
   If nothing happens, you may need to hit Enter to execute the final command if it didn’t copy correctly.

6. Save Your Access Keys
   If successful, you’ll see output like this: Figure 5: Output showing newly generated AccessKeyId and SecretAccessKey. Be sure to copy and safely store both the AccessKeyId and SecretAccessKey. You’ll need them in the next step.
