The command "aws iam list-users" is used to list all the users present in your AWS account using the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) service.
IAM allows you to manage user access and permissions to your AWS resources. It enables you to create and manage users within your AWS account, assign them different access levels, and control their permissions to various AWS services.
When you execute the command "aws iam list-users", the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) communicates with the IAM service to retrieve a list of all the users in your account. This list will include information such as the user's unique identifier (ARN), username, and date of creation.
The result of the command will be displayed in the CLI, showing all the users with their respective information. If there are no users, the output will be empty.
This command is helpful when you need to view a list of users within your AWS account, especially in scenarios where you want to review or manage the access and permissions assigned to each user.
