209    Asked by ranjan_6399 in AWS , Asked on May 7, 2024

 I am currently managing a team of developers on an AWS project. One of my team members is having trouble logging into the AWS management console. They have tried resetting their password but are still unable to access the console. How can I troubleshoot and resolve this particular issue?

 In the context of AWS, here are the steps given for troubleshooting and resolving your particular issue:-

Checking IAM permission

The IAM user should have the appropriate permissions to access the AWS management console. You can do this by navigating to the IAM dashboard in the AWS management console, selecting the users, and checking their assigned policies.

Verify MFA setting

You can verify that they are using the correct MFA device and entering the right code if multi-factor authentication is enabled for the IAM user.

Reset password

You can also try to reset the password.

Checking account status

Try to verify that the AWS accounts are active and not suspended or restricted. You can check this in the AWS Billings and Cost Management dashboard or by contacting AWS support.

Here are the relevant codes given regarding the above steps:-

Import boto3

# Initialize AWS IAM client
Iam_client = boto3.client(‘iam’)
# Step 1: Check IAM User Permissions
Def check_user_permissions(username):

    Try:

        Response = iam_client.list_attached_user_policies(UserName=username)
        Attached_policies = response[‘AttachedPolicies’]
        If attached_policies:
            Print(f”{username} has the following attached policies:”)
            For policy in attached_policies:
                Print(policy[‘PolicyName’])

        Else:

            Print(f”{username} does not have any attached policies.”)
    Except Exception as e:
        Print(f”Error checking user permissions: {e}”)
# Step 2: Verify MFA Settings
Def verify_mfa_settings(username):

    Try:

        Response = iam_client.list_mfa_devices(UserName=username)
        Mfa_devices = response[‘MFADevices’]
        If mfa_devices:
            Print(f”{username} has MFA enabled.”)

        Else:

            Print(f”{username} does not have MFA enabled.”)
    Except Exception as e:
        Print(f”Error verifying MFA settings: {e}”)

# Step 3: Reset Password (assuming the user initiates the password reset process)

# This step typically involves sending a password reset email, which is not programmatically done here.

# Step 4: Check Account Status (not programmatically done here)

# Step 5: Browser Compatibility (not programmatically done here)

# Step 6: Clear Cache and Cookies (not programmatically done here)

# Step 7: Try Another Browser or Device (not programmatically done here)

# Step 8: Review CloudTrail Logs (not programmatically done here)

# Example usage

If __name__ == “__main__”:
    Username = ‘example_user’
    Check_user_permissions(username)
    Verify_mfa_settings(username)
