IAM user created from cli not showing up in AWS console

I created an IAM user using the the CLI and it does not show up in the console. I installed the CLI and ran:

$ aws iam create-user --user-name Connor  
$ aws iam create-access-key --user-name Connor

When I login to the AWS console with administrator access and navigate to the IAM section, no user named "Connor" shows up. However, when I run: 

$ aws iam list-users                          
{
    "Users": [
        {
            "UserName": "Connor", 
            "Path": "/", 
            "CreateDate": "2017-08-02T19:08:54Z", 
            "UserId": "XXXXXXXXX", 
            "Arn": "arn:aws:iam::XXXXXXXXXX:user/Connor"
        }, 
        {
            "UserName": "connor11528", 
            "Path": "/", 
            "CreateDate": "2017-03-11T19:30:43Z", 
            "UserId": "XXXXXXXXXXX", 
            "Arn": "arn:aws:iam::XXXXXXXXXX:user/connor11528"
        }
    ]
}

The user Connor is there but a not some IAM users that show up in the console. Why does the Connor IAM user not show up on the console?

Run this CLI to query to get the account number of the credentials configured for CLI:

aws ec2 describe-security-groups --query 'SecurityGroups[0].OwnerId' --output text

This account number has to be different from the one you see on the AWS console. Make sure you use the correct account credentials.
