Lab 2 – Create Users & Groups and apply policies

Scenario : I have newly Started an IT Company called “SatyaCodes”, newly recruited below Users
Users - [dev1, dev2, dev3], [dba1, dba2], [ops1, ops2]

Create All above users
Groups - [DEV_GROUP, DBA_GROUP, OPS_GROUP]

  • Each User should be part of their respective Groups

  • Each Group/User should have respective Policy

Policies S3 DynamoDB VPC
DEV_Policy Full Read NO
DBA_Policy READ FULL NO
OPS_Policy READ READ FULL

Users Creation

Users - [dev1, dev2, dev3], [dba1, dba2], [ops1, ops2]

  1. In the AWS Management Console, on the Services menu, click IAM.

  2. on the left, click Users.

  3. Add user – - [dev1, dev2, dev3], & it will gives access keys as well

  4. Login with created users

  1. It will redirect to change password page

  1. It will show the newly created User dashboard & if we try to access anything it will show error message , because you were not part of any Group/Policy

Groups Creation

Click On Groups from left > Add Group ([DEV_GROUP, DBA_GROUP, OPS_GROUP]) > Skip policy for Now

Select Each group & add Users to It

Now Click on Users Tab – Groups will be updated.

Policies

Policies nothing but permissions – what type of permissions user have for the particular service.

Each Group/User should have respective Policy

Policies S3 DynamoDB VPC
DEV_Policy Full Read NO
DBA_Policy READ FULL NO
OPS_Policy READ READ FULL

By default all Users have IAMUserChangePassword policy, that’s why users are navigating to change password page after first login.
