• The Add user wizard gets launched, as shown next. First, specify the User name (dvohra).
• Select the AWS Management Console access option, which enables a password that allows the IAM user to log in to the Console:

• For Console Password, select the Custom password option and specify a password in the field provided. Select the Require password reset option, which requires a user to create a new password at the next login. Users are automatically granted the IAMUserChangePassword policy, which allows a user to change their password. Click on Next. 
• Next, configure permissions. Click on Attach existing policy directly...
