Creating an IAM user

You can create an IAM user for the deployed Cloud Edition AWS in Data Management.

1. Log in to the Amazon AWS console by using your AWS account with admin privileges.
2. In the upper left of the menu bar, select Services.
3. Under Security, Identity & Compliance, select IAM.
4. In the left frame, click Users.
5. Click Add users.
6. In the User name field, enter a user name such as IBMCE.
7. For Access type, select Programmatic access and click Next:Permissions.
8. Click Attach existing policies directly, then search for the name of the policy you created previously and select that policy.
   Note: Attaching the AWS permissions are required for a fresh deployment of the Cloud Edition or for a node that is being added to an existing cluster. When the Cloud Edition is deployed, the IAM permissions are not required and can be removed.
9. Click Next:Tags.
10. Optionally, enter tags for the policy and then click Next:Review.
11. In the Secret access key column, click Show.
12. Copy and paste the Access key ID and the Secret access key in to a text file to use later when you are deploying the cluster.
13. Click Close.
