Can not add MFA or add users I see an error page flashing

Hello,

I understand that you are getting the below error when trying to create and assign MFA device for the user:
 "We encountered the following errors while processing your request: X Unknown error."


The error itself is not relate to the IAM service, this might be an issue from your end. That could be an interface error or your session has expired you may need to login again and go to IAM Console. Ensure that the IAM User/Role logged in as, has sufficient permission to create add an IAM user or MFA.

1. Create a user:
