# Configuring the IAM user

## About this task

To publish to your AWS deployment package store from the Policy Editor, configure a new IAM user to access the S3 bucket in accordance with the policy that you created in [Configuring the IAM user policy](amazon_deployment_store_user_policy.html).

## Steps

1. In the AWS Management Console, on to the [IAM dashboard](https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home), go to **Access Management → Users** and click **Create user**.

1. Define a username and click **Next**.

2. On the **Set permissions** page, select **Attach policies directly**, and then select the policy you created in [Configuring the IAM user policy](amazon_deployment_store_user_policy.html).

   1. **Optional:** Select **Create policy** to configure a different user policy.

3. On the **Review and create** confirmation page, review your configurations and click **Create user** to create the IAM user.

4. **Optional:** Attach user attribute tags.

5. On the **Users** page, search for and click on the newly created user.

6. On the **Security credentials** tab, in the **Access keys** section, click **Create access key**.

7. Click **Application running outside AWS**. Click **Next**.

8. **Optional:** In the **Description tag value** field, enter a description for the access key and click **Create access key**.

   These values will be used when configuring connections to the Policy Editor and PingAuthorize server.
