### Step-by-Step Guide
1. **Log in to your AWS account**
* Login to your AWS account through the AWS Management Console.
2. **Navigate to IAM**
* Navigate to the `Identity and Access Management` (IAM) service.
3. **Create a new user**
* Select `Users` from the left-hand navigation.
* Click `Create user`.
* Give the user a name.
* **Important:** Do NOT give it AWS Management Console access.
4. **Create and attach a policy**
* Create a policy.
* Select the Bedrock service.
* Create a policy, select the bedrock service, and grant it InvokeModel and InvokeModelWithResponseStream allow on any foundation or provisioned model.
* Attach the policy to the user.
5. **Generate access keys**
* Create the user, then click into the user and navigate to `Security credentials`.
* Click `Create access key` and select the `Other` Use Case.
* Download the key and keep it in a safe place (secret store, etc).
6. **Set up Bedrock model access**
* Navigate back to the Bedrock service.
* In the left-hand menu navigate to Model access.
* Select `Enable specific models`.
* Select the models you want to try (e.g. all Amazon and all Anthropic).
* Enter your business information and submit access request.
> Note: Amazon model access is typically granted immediately and other model provider access is typically granted within minutes, although it's not guaranteed.
