Administration of access rights with AWS IAM (Identity and Access Management )

Overview

In this lab, you will improve the access management of your AWS account with the AWS Identity Access Management service, commonly abbreviated as IAM.

You will create an IAM Group, assign Admin rights (via IAM Policy) then add an IAM User to that group so that user also has Admin rights.

To tighten the security issue, the next step you will not use direct admin rights anymore, but will use the IAM Role to be able to give temporary admin access to an IAM User.
