The AWS account root user is the first sign-in identity that is available when an AWS account is created. It has complete access to all AWS services and resources in the account. The root user email address and password are the same credentials that are used to sign in to the AWS Management Console4. The root user should be used only to perform a few account and servicemanagement tasks. For day-to-day tasks, it is recommended to use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users or roles instead.
