Setting up

To sign up for an AWS account

1. Open https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup.

2. Follow the online instructions.

   Part of the sign-up procedure involves receiving a phone call and entering a verification code on the phone keypad.

   When you sign up for an AWS account, an AWS account root user is created. The root user has access to all AWS services and resources in the account. As a security best practice, assign administrative access to a user, and use only the root user to perform tasks that require root user access.

Secure your AWS account root user

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console as the account owner by choosing Root user and entering your AWS account email address. On the next page, enter your password.

   For help signing in by using root user, see Signing in as the root user in the AWS Sign-In User Guide.

2. Turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA) for your root user.

   For instructions, see Enable a virtual MFA device for your AWS account root user (console) in the IAM User Guide.

Create a user with administrative access

1. Enable IAM Identity Center.

   For instructions, see Enabling AWS IAM Identity Center in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.

2. In IAM Identity Center, grant administrative access to a user.

   For a tutorial about using the IAM Identity Center directory as your identity source, see Configure user access with the default IAM Identity Center directory in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.

Sign in as the user with administrative access

• To sign in with your IAM Identity Center user, use the sign-in URL that was sent to your email address when you created the IAM Identity Center user.

  For help signing in using an IAM Identity Center user, see Signing in to the AWS access portal in the AWS Sign-In User Guide.

Assign access to additional users

1. In IAM Identity Center, create a permission set that follows the best practice of applying least-privilege permissions.

   For instructions, see Create a permission set in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.

2. Assign users to a group, and then assign single sign-on access to the group.

   For instructions, see Add groups in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.

To embed an inline policy for a role using the console

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/.

2. In the navigation pane, choose Roles.

3. In the list, choose the name of the role to embed a policy in.

4. Choose the Permissions tab.

5. Scroll to the bottom of the page and choose Add inline policy.

   Note

   You can't embed an inline policy in a service-linked role in IAM. Because the linked service defines whether you can modify the permissions of the role, you might be able to add additional policies from the service console, API, or AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). To view the service-linked role documentation for a service, see AWS Services That Work with IAM and choose Yes in the Service-Linked Role column for your service.

6. Choose Creating Policies with the Visual Editor.

7. Add the following permissions policy statement.

   {
       "Version": "2012-10-17",
       "Statement": {
           "Effect": "Allow",
           "Action": [
               "iam:CreateServiceLinkedRole",
               "iam:AttachRolePolicy",
               "iam:PutRolePolicy"
           ],
           "Resource": "arn:aws:iam::*:role/aws-service-role/s3.data-source.lustre.fsx.amazonaws.com/*"
       }
   }
