What Is IAM?

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a web service that helps you securely control access to AWS resources. You use IAM to control who is authenticated (signed in) and authorized (has permissions) to use resources. 
(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/introduction.html)
After creating account for AWS it will begin with single sign-in identity which is completed to access all AWS services and resources in the account. The identity you created called AWS account which is primarily your root user and it is used for your everyday tasks, including the administrative account. When it comes to the best practices of using the root user only it is advisable to create your first IAM user then securely lock away the root and use them to perform only a management tasks with few account.
