+**Example 1: This example creates an IAM user named`Bob`. If Bob needs to sign in to the AWS console, then you must separately run the command `New-IAMLoginProfile` to create a sign-in profile with a password. If Bob needs to run AWS PowerShell or cross-platform CLI commands or make AWS API calls, then you must separately run the `New-IAMAccessKey` command to create access keys.**
