Root Access Keys provide unlimited access to your AWS resources. It's not recommended to use them in normal situations. AWS recommends to delete existing Root Access Keys and create IAM user and Access Keys limited to specific service or resource (see below).

Create Access Keys for a User¶ Create a new AWS secret access key and corresponding AWS access key ID for the specified user. The default status for new keys is Active.

This Python example shows you how to manage the access keys of your users.

The Scenario¶

Users need their own access keys to make programmatic calls to AWS from the Amazon Web Services (AWS)SDK for Python. To fill this need, you can create, modify, view, or rotate access keys(access key IDs and secret access keys) for IAM users. By default, when you create an access key, itsstatus is Active, which means the user can use the access key for API calls.

In this example, Python code is used to manage access keys in IAM. The code uses the AWS SDK for Pythonto manage IAM access keys using these methods of the IAM client class:

  • create_access_key.
  • paginate(UserName='IAM_USER_NAME').
  • get_access_key_last_used.
  • update_access_key.
  • delete_access_key.

For more information about IAM access keys, see Managing Access Keysin the IAM User Guide.

All the example code for the Amazon Web Services (AWS) SDK for Python is available here on GitHub.

Prerequisite Task¶

To set up and run this example, you must first configure your AWS credentials, as described in Quickstart.

Create Access Keys for a User¶

Create a new AWS secret access key and corresponding AWS access key ID for the specified user. Thedefault status for new keys is Active.

The example below shows how to:

  • Create a new AWS access key usingcreate_access_key.

Example¶

List a User's Access Keys¶

List information about the access key IDs associated with the specified IAM user. If there are none,the action returns an empty list.

If the UserName field is not specified, the UserName is determined implicitly based on the AWS accesskey ID used to sign the request. Because this action works for access keys under the AWS account,you can use this action to manage root credentials even if the AWS account has no associated users.

The example below shows how to:

  • List a user's access keys usingpaginate(UserName='IAM_USER_NAME').

For more information about paginators see, Paginators

Example¶

Get Aws Access Key

Get the Access Key Last Used¶

Get information about when the specified access key was last used. The information includes thedate and time of last use, along with the AWS service and region that were specified in the last requestmade with that key.

The example below shows how to:

  • Get the access key last used usingget_access_key_last_used.

Example¶

Generate Aws Access Key

Update Access Key Status¶

Change the status of the specified access key from Active to Inactive, or vice versa. This actioncan be used to disable a user's key as part of a key rotation work flow.

The example below shows how to:

  • Change the status of an access key to Active usingupdate_access_key.

Example¶

Delete an Access Key¶

Delete the access key pair associated with the specified IAM user.

If you do not specify a user name, IAM determines the user name implicitly based on the AWS accesskey ID signing the request. Because this action works for access keys under the AWS account, you canuse this action to manage root credentials even if the AWS account has no associated users.

The example below shows how to:

  • Delete an access key usingdelete_access_key.
