In this article, we will discuss “How to create AWS IAM user with programmatic access”. Programmatic Access user is required if we want to control AWS services from the command line interface (AWS CLI) or working with the SDK. AWS provides SDK for different languages such as PHP, Python, NodeJs and etc. When we create a programmatic access user, then AWS provides the AWS Access Key and AWS Secret Access Key. These are used by AWS CLI tools to authenticate to AWS and execute your commands. Similarly, for AWS official SDK use the same to authenticate AWS.
If you don’t have an AWS account, go ahead and create an AWS account. AWS provides most of the services under free tier plan, you can check here for more.

Reviews the IAM user settings and permissions then click on “Crete user”.
