Root user Vs IAM user

Question

What is the difference between them, as I just created my account in AWS?

Answer 1

There are two types of users in AWS.

1.The account owner (root user)

2.IAM (Identity and Access Management) user.

The root user is the AWS account owner and IAM users are created by the owner or by an administrator.

The root user has full access to all resources in the account. All AWS users have security credentials.
