Setting Up SES

First, go to IAM and create a new user named {appname}-{env}-ses. Select "Programmatic access" as the access type.

In permissions, choose to attach an existing policy directly. Give the user the AmazonSESFullAccess policy.

After the next step, you will be provided the new user's access key ID and secret access key. Copy these values into the server's config.js mail.ses section.

Review and create the user.
