Step 1: Create an IAM user in Amazon
To connect AWS with Plecto, you need to provide a Key ID and a Secret Key. And to get your Key ID and Secret Key, you need to create an IAM user in Amazon and define that user's permissions. Here's the information you need:
How to create an IAM user? – Read Creating an IAM user in your AWS account
You need to add permissions to your new IAM user (copy the code block from above). That will allow you to generate your access keys. – Read Changing permissions for an IAM user
How to get your Key ID and Secret Key? – Read How do I create an AWS access key and Managing access keys for IAM users
