Get Access Key Info
| sts_get_access_key_info | R Documentation |
Returns the account identifier for the specified access key ID¶
Description¶
Returns the account identifier for the specified access key ID.
Access keys consist of two parts: an access key ID (for example,
AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE) and a secret access key (for example,
wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY). For more information about
access keys, see Managing Access Keys for IAM
Users
in the IAM User Guide.
When you pass an access key ID to this operation, it returns the ID of
the Amazon Web Services account to which the keys belong. Access key IDs
beginning with AKIA are long-term credentials for an IAM user or the
Amazon Web Services account root user. Access key IDs beginning with
ASIA are temporary credentials that are created using STS operations.
If the account in the response belongs to you, you can sign in as the
root user and review your root user access keys. Then, you can pull a
credentials
report
to learn which IAM user owns the keys. To learn who requested the
temporary credentials for an ASIA access key, view the STS events in
your CloudTrail
logs
in the IAM User Guide.
This operation does not indicate the state of the access key. The key might be active, inactive, or deleted. Active keys might not have permissions to perform an operation. Providing a deleted access key might return an error that the key doesn't exist.
