You are on the right track. Here's a warning from the AWS documentation at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_root-user.html:
We strongly recommend that you do not use the root user for your everyday tasks, even the administrative ones. Instead, adhere to the best practice of using the root user only to create your first IAM user. Then securely lock away the root user credentials and use them to perform only a few account and service management tasks. To view the tasks that require you to sign in as the root user, see AWS Tasks That Require Root User. For a tutorial on how to set up an administrator for daily use, see Creating your first IAM admin user and user group.
You can give the IAM user the privileges that you need for your learning purposes.
