+# Create new IAM user
+
+![Meta TTP](https://img.shields.io/badge/Meta_TTP-blue)
+
+This TTP is used to create a new IAM user in AWS. It uses the AWS CLI to create a new user with the specified name.
+  If a user with given name exists, nothing is done and the TTP is closed.
+  If a user does not exist a new user is created.
+  It is also deleted during cleanup. `--no-cleanup` options should be explicity specified if we do not want the new user created to be deleted.
+
+
+## Arguments
+
+
+- **iam_user_name**: The name of the new IAM user to be created.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Set up necessary cloud environment variables.
+2. Check if an IAM user exists with provided user name
+3. Create a new IAM user if no existing user is found with given IAM user name.
+4. By deafult during the cleanup, delete the recently created IAM user.
+
+## Manual Reproduction Steps
+
+```
+
+# Check if a user exists with provided user name
+aws iam get-user --user-name "IAM_USER_NAME"
+
+# Create a new user
+aws iam create-user --user-name "IAM_USER_NAME"
+
+# Setup persistence command in a RC SHELL script file: eg
+aws iam delete-user --user-name "IAM_USER_NAME"
+
+```
