User has Console access but needs Console permissions

Question

One of my users needs to generate Keys but has no permissions for that or any other default console action. He has a password and is able to login to the console and can change his password but that's the only access he has. His console access is enabled. Please see attached screen captures.

Please let me know if there any other details you might require to help me with this issue.

Thank you

Hi.

Do you want to give the user permission to generate keys?  
Please refer to the following and give iam:CreateAccessKey permission to user.

```
{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "CreateOwnAccessKeys",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "iam:CreateAccessKey",
                "iam:GetUser",
                "iam:ListAccessKeys"
            ],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:iam::*:user/${aws:username}"
        }
    ]
}
```

Answer

The user is able to login to the console this is **authentication**. User will require **authorization** before they can perform any actions. You will need to attach a access policy to the user account before any actions can be performed.
