+It is highly recommended to use a different ACL than the preset `open-access`
+ACL which allows all access using the `default` user.
+
+If you do not have another MemoryDB ACL yet, create one:
+```code
+$ aws memorydb create-acl --acl-name my-acl

+
+Make sure the ACL is attached to your MemoryDB cluster:
+```code
+$ aws memorydb update-cluster --cluster-name my-memorydb --acl-name my-acl

+Now create an MemoryDB IAM-enabled user:
