Steps to create `AWS access keys` are not clear

Describe the issue with documentation

Hello,

I am new to AWS and am trying Getting Started with the AWS SDK for Go V2 tutorial. However, the steps mentioned in the Get your AWS access keys are not clear or are not updated.

• On the navigation menu, choose Users.
• Choose your IAM user name (not the check box).
• Open the Security credentials tab, and then choose Create access key.

Issue 1: When I select Users from the navigation menu, an empty list of users is displayed. Should this be Create instead of Choose?

Issue 2: I could not find the Security credentials tab mentioned in the last step.

Suggestion

Update the documentation considering a new user is using it. Thanks.

AWS Go SDK version used

aws-sdk-go-v2

Hi @IamSuajBobade , Yea I guess the instructions assumes that an IAM user has been created before trying to get the credentials.... I think we can add a mention or link for the instruction on how to do that.

As for the security credentials tab... it's one of the tabs shown when you select a user (not the checkbox), along with "Permissions/Groups/Tags/Security credentials/Access Advisor". I'm not sure how else I would describe it, but I'm open to suggestions there. I'll see about the first thing for now and thanks for the feedback!
