[2025] How to create Admin User for AWS account

In this video, we will show you how to create an Admin user for your AWS account. It is important to create an Admin user rather than using the Root user for security purposes, as the Root user has unrestricted access to all resources in the account. We highly recommend watching our previous video on how to create an AWS account before proceeding with this tutorial.

We will guide you through the process of creating an IAM (Identity and Access Management) Admin user and attaching the necessary Admin role. By creating an Admin user, you can delegate specific administrative tasks without giving away full control of your account.

By the end of this video, you will have successfully created an Admin user with the necessary permissions to perform administrative tasks on your AWS account while maintaining a secure account structure.
