Follow the instructions [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users_create.html) (in the *Creating IAM users (console)* section) to create an IAM user with admin access to your root account. Use the following details when setting up this user: - Name: "paulswail" (if creating for different user, change this to appropriate username) - Enable both "Programmatic Access" and "AWS Management Console Access" in the AccessType prompt - Check the Autogenerated Password and "User must create a new password at next sign-in" options - In the Permissions dialog, select "Attach existing policies directly" and select the `AdministratorAccess` - Skip the Tags prompt and then click the Create User button to create the user - **Important**: On the final screen, click on the "Download.csv" file as this contains the temporary credentials for the new user. Save this file (I recommend inside a password manager such as [1Password](https://1password.com)) and supply the contents securely to me. Note that these are one-time use credentials that I will change upon first login.
