AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)

How to Manage Access Keys for an IAM User

CS Browser lets you create, view, disable, enable and delete access keys for AWS IAM users.

Bucket Sharing Wizard can automatically create IAM users, access keys and IAM policies. For security reasons, the Secret Access Key is displayed only when the access key is created.

If you do not save the Secret Access Key at that time, it cannot be recovered later. Instead, you can create a new Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.

An IAM user can have up to two access keys. If the user already has two keys, delete an existing key before creating another one.

You can also temporarily disable access keys and enable them again later.

1. Click Tools > Access Manager (IAM)

   

   The Access Manager (IAM) dialog will open:

   

2. Select the user whose access keys you want to view or edit.

3. Right-click and choose Manage access keys..
