------------------------------

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is an AWS service that helps an administrator securely control access to AWS resources.
IAM administrators control who can be *authenticated* (signed in) and *authorized* (have permissions) to use AWS resources. IAM is an AWS service that you can use with no additional charge.

For details about working with IAM, see `AWS Identity and Access Management <https://aws.amazon.com/iam/>`_. We also strongly recommend reviewing the `Security best practices in IAM <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/best-practices.html>`_.

To use Boto3 to access AWS, you need an AWS account and AWS credentials. To increase the security of your
AWS account, we recommend that you use an *IAM user* to provide access credentials instead of using your AWS
account credentials.

For details about working with IAM, see `IAM <https://aws.amazon.com/iam/>`_.

For an overview of IAM users and why they are important for the security of your account,
see `AWS Security Credentials <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-security-credentials.html>`_
in the `Amazon Web Services General Reference <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/>`_.
