Option 2 - Create a new IAM user
With this option, you create a new AWS IAM user and provide those credentials to provide access to your account for the Cloud Team.
- Login to the AWS web console for your AWS Account.
- Use these instructions to create a new user: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users_create.html#id_users_create_console
- Use "cloudteam" as the username.
- Be sure to allow "AWS Management Console access"
- Choose "Attach existing policies to user directly" and attach "AdministratorAccess" to the new user.
- Be sure to save the password set for the new user.
- You have two options to send the IAM user credentials to the Cloud Team:
- Via Cornell Dropbox:
- Create a plain text file containing the IAM user name and password.
- Login to https://dropbox.cornell.edu/ and send the file to the Cloud Team staff person you are working with. If unsure, send it to pea1@cornell.edu. Instructions for using Cornell Dropbox are here: https://it.cornell.edu/tags/cornell-dropbox
- Via LastPass:
- Create a LastPass folder and share it with the Cloud Team staff person you are working with. If unsure, share it with pea1@cornell.edu.
- Add the LastPass record (site or note) containing the IAM user credentials for the AWS account into the shared folder.
