IAM List Access Keys

Returns information about the access key IDs associated with the specified IAM user. If there is none, the operation returns an empty list.

Although each user is limited to a small number of keys, you can still paginate the results using the MaxItems and Marker parameters.

If the UserName field is not specified, the user name is determined implicitly based on the Amazon Web Services access key ID used to sign the request. This operation works for access keys under the account. Consequently, you can use this operation to manage account root user credentials even if the account has no associated users.

To ensure the security of your account, the secret access key is accessible only during key and user creation.

Basic Parameters

ParameterDescription
AWS Region(s)Enter the desired AWS Region(s).

To execute the action in multiple regions, provide a comma-separated list.
For example: us-east-1,eu-west-2.

If you wish to run the action in all available regions, use the asterisk symbol (*) instead.
MarkerUse this parameter only when paginating results and only after you receive a response indicating that the results are truncated. Set it to the value of the Marker element in the response that you received to indicate where the next call should start.
Max ItemsUse this only when paginating results to indicate the maximum number of items you want in the response. If additional items exist beyond the maximum you specify, the IsTruncated response element is true.

If you do not include this parameter, the number of items defaults to 100. Note that IAM might return fewer results, even when there are more results available. In that case, the IsTruncated response element returns true, and Marker contains a value to include in the subsequent call that tells the service where to continue from.
User NameThe name of the user.

This parameter allows (through its regex pattern) a string of characters consisting of upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the following characters: _+=,.@-.

Advanced Parameters

ParameterDescription
Disable XML To JSON Auto ConvertWhen checked, XML responses are not automatically converted into JSON format.
