Manage AWS Key Use
The AWS Keys Usage tab lists the access keys used for AWS accounts. For each key, the tab shows the following information:
- Account Name — The account name for the cloud.
- User Name — The user ID for the administrator user.
- Permissions — The types of permissions granted to the administrator user for the account. If the account has multiple permissions, click View More to see additional listings.
- Access Key — The key assigned to the administrator user. Access keys provide credentials for IAM users or an AWS account root user. These keys can be used to sign programmatic requests to the AWS CLI or the AWS API. Each access key consists of the key ID (listed here) and a secret key. Both the access key and the secret key must be used to authenticate requests.
- Action — The actions that can be taken on each listed account:
- Recycle icon -- Select the Activity Audit Logs page to view activity for this cloud application.
- Disable icon -- Disable the access key if it is determined to be unsafe as far as data security or is no longer needed.
