Amazing video for a complicated topic. Thank You!

You're very welcome David!

Excellent clear explanation! So apparently not only can you not manage access to tables etc with IAM, you also absolutely need to log the superuser account in with a password? So if you have automation for user creation you still need to store the superuser password somewhere and log in with it?
