Unable to create IAM user with Admin access

Playgrounds
#1

Hi Team,

While I was going through the labs I wanted to do some demo project by creating Iam user with admin access but even if I am not giving admin but giving ec2 full access or ecs full access it is not working.

Kindly let me know what I can do to resolve this issue?

Short answer, you can’t.

The maximum possible privilege available in the playground is already assigned to the kk_user account that you log in with.

Please also read this.

Hi @Alistair_KodeKloud so I cannot create any IAM user? and if I want to do practical demo session I can only use this kk_user.

You can create users with names that start with “iamuser”, but they can only have the same or less access than the user you start out with in the playground. There’s no way to increase the access to AWS resources by creating a new user.
