The AWS Cloud Formation template creates a single Identity and Access Management (IAM) user
with specific role and permissions defined by IAM policies. An IAM user is a resource (person or
application) that can make AWS API requests using its credentials. Coordinate with the AWS admin
who performed the AWS Cloud Formation setup to obtain the user's IAM access key and secret, as
you need it when configuring the Salesforce Named Credential.
From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Named Credentials, then
select Named Credentials.
Click next to New and
select New Legacy.
Important In Winter ’23, Salesforce introduced an improved named credential that
is extensible and customizable. Virtual Care currently requires the Legacy Named Credential.
