After creating our Access Policy (from this guide), we’ll create a new user and assign that user to our newly created Policy.

Click on “Users” then “Add user“

Give your user a Username and AccessType “Programmatic Access“

Click on Attach existing policies directly, then search for the policy we just created

Click on Next: Tags, and skip this step. Move on to “Create User“
