    Article summary

    You may create a user using the AWS CLI command

    aws iam create-user --user-name Bob

    When you do this, do not forget that you are referencing the iam endpoint rather than the s3 endpoint here. The command would look something like this:

    $ aws iam create-user --user-name mikeotestuser--endpoint-url=https://iam.wasabisys.com
    {
        "User": {
            "UserName": "mikeotestuser", 
            "Path": "/", 
            "CreateDate": "2019-09-18T16:04:37.031Z", 
            "UserId": "1PIFRFBITH1515N0TR3AL", 
            "Arn": "arn:aws:iam::100009912345:user/mikeo-test-iam"
        }
    }
    $
