Create an Account Key

Some cloud resources require the access key (AK) and secret access key (SK) to verify user identity.

About this task

  • Access Key ID: Unique identifier of a private access key used for user identification.
  • Secret Access Key: The key used in conjunction with the access key ID to encrypt and sign the request to identify the sender and prevent sender requests from being modified.
Note:
  • Each account (master account or subaccount) can create only two pairs of AK and SK.
  • The AK and SK of the master account have the maximal privilege. As a best practice, keep the AK and SK of the master account safe and do not use them.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Console by using a master account or subaccount with requisite permissions.
  2. In the upper-right corner of the page, click the drop-down menu after the username, and then select Account Info to enter the Account module.
  3. In the left navigation pane, select Access Key.
  4. In the upper-right corner, click Create.
  5. Enter the verification code.
  6. Click Confirm.
  7. When the access key is succeefully created, click Save.
    Important:

    This is the only opportunity for you to download the key. Please save it in time.
