Create an AccessKey
Updated at:
Copy as MD
You can create an AccessKey for an Alibaba Cloud account or a Resource Access Management (RAM) user. You must use an AccessKey to authenticate your identity when you call Alibaba Cloud APIs.
An AccessKey includes an AccessKey ID and an AccessKey secret.
AccessKey ID: An ID used to identify a user.
AccessKey secret: A key used to authenticate a user. Keep your AccessKey secret confidential.
Important
A leaked AccessKey for an Alibaba Cloud account compromises the security of all resources within that account. To ensure account security, create AccessKeys for RAM users rather than for your Alibaba Cloud account.
