In order to allow access to the AWS console, you need to create the IAM profile for the user Ramesh. You can use the New-IAMLoginProfile cmdlet for this purpose:

PS C:\> New-IAMLoginProfile -UserName Ramesh -Password Test123 -PasswordResetRequired $false

https://<account-alias>.signin.aws.amazon...
