        "SecretAccessKey"
      ]
  },
  "Description": "Secret Key of ADD User"
}
}
}

I am getting below error

Invalid template property or properties [ADDUSERPolicy, ADDUSER, ADDUSERKeys]

Create credentials for the user, depending on the type of access the user requires:

Programmatic access: The IAM user might need to make API calls, use the AWS CLI, or use the Tools for Windows PowerShell. In that case, create an access key (access key ID and a secret access key) for that user.

AWS Management Console access: If the user needs to access the AWS Management Console, create a password for the user.

Right before ADDUSER, you have one too many closing braces (it needs to be moved down below the final resource) so that and subsequent resources are at the wrong level. All resources need to be under the Resources key. — jarmod

ADDUSER, ADDUSERPolicy and ADDUSERKeys should be in Resources, but they are on the same level:
