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.

1. Login to the AWS web console for your AWS Account.
2. Use these instructions to create a new user: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users_create.html#id_users_create_console
   1. Use "cloudteam" as the username.
   2. Be sure to allow "AWS Management Console access"
   3. Choose "Attach existing policies to user directly" and attach "AdministratorAccess" to the new user.
   4. Be sure to save the password set for the new user.
3. You have two options to send the IAM user credentials to the Cloud Team:
   1. Via Cornell Dropbox:
      1. Create a plain text file containing the IAM user name and password.
      2. 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
   2. Via LastPass:
      1. 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.
      2. Add the LastPass record (site or note) containing the IAM user credentials for the AWS account into the shared folder.
