Create an IAM user for ElasticBeanstalk

To use AWS ElasticBeanstalk, we have to create a IAM user first.

• After logging in AWS, go to IAM under Services.

• Click Create New Group under Groups and specify a group name (here, assumed as ElasticBeanstalkFullAccess).

• Attach policy AWSElasticBeanstalkFullAccess to the group ElasticBeanstalkFullAccess.

• Click Create New Users under Users to create a new user supposed to use ElasticBeanstalk. During the process, it will prompt you to download security credentials composed by AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.

• Under Users, add the user to the group ElasticBeanstalkFullAccess.

From now on, you should be able to use ElasticBeanstalk with the security credentials downloaded.
