Create new access keys for an IAM user

If you already have an IAM user, you can create new access keys at any time. For more information about key management, for example how to update access keys, see Managing access keys for IAM users.

To create access keys for an IAM user (console)

  1. Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the IAM console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/iam/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Users.

  3. Choose the name of the user whose access keys you want to create.

  4. On the Summary page of the user, choose the Security credentials tab.

  5. In the Access keys section, choose Create access key.

    To view the new access key pair, choose Show. Your credentials will look something like this:

    • Access key ID: AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE

    • Secret access key: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY

    Note

    You will not have access to the secret access key again after this dialog box closes.

  6. To download the key pair, choose Download .csv file. Store the keys in a secure location.

  7. After you download the .csv file, choose Close.

When you create an access key, the key pair is active by default, and you can use the pair right away.
