Step 2: Go to IAM service dashboard. In the left side panel, click on Users under Access management.
Click on Create User.

Click on “Download .csv file”.
Step 7:- After successfully creating your IAM user, sign out and log back in as “New-S3-User” which is created.
Note:-You have to use “New-S3-User credentials.csv” file for log back in.
Now you can see you have logged in as “New-S3-User”.
Step 8:- Open Command Prompt.
Type in the command: aws configure
Copy the Access key ID from .csv file and paste it here for AWS Access Key ID.
Similarly copy the Secret access key and paste it here for AWS Secret Access Key.
Give the Default region name that we stored in Step 8, ap-south-1 in this case.
Give Default output format as json.
Step 9: This step is to test whether the User can access S3 services through AWS CLI commands.
To create a bucket enter following command:
aws s3 mb s3://mybucket753159
Here mybucket753159 is a random name chosen for your bucket.
You may have to try this command again if your required bucket name is already being used by some other AWS user.
If you observe make_bucket: (name of your bucket) as output, your bucket has been successfully created for this particular s3 user using the access and policies you chose for the user.
Step 10: Go to S3 services from AWS console and click on Buckets to check that the bucket has been created.
Note: Delete the S3 bucket and the IAM user if you no longer need to use them.
