aws iam update-access-key
Changes the status of the specified access key from Active to Inactive, or vice versa. This operation can be used to disable a user's key as part of a key rotation workflow. If the UserName is not specified, the user name is determined implicitly based on the AWS access key ID used to sign the request. This operation works for access keys under the AWS account. Consequently, you can use this operation to manage AWS account root user credentials even if the AWS account has no associated users. For information about rotating keys, see Managing keys and certificates in the IAM User Guide
Options
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
--user-name <string> | The name of the user whose key you want to update. 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: _+=,.@- |
--access-key-id <string> | The access key ID of the secret access key you want to update. This parameter allows (through its regex pattern) a string of characters that can consist of any upper or lowercased letter or digit |
--status <string> | The status you want to assign to the secret access key. Active means that the key can be used for programmatic calls to AWS, while Inactive means that the key cannot be used |
--cli-input-json <string> | Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by ``--generate-cli-skeleton``. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally |
--generate-cli-skeleton <string> | Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value ``input``, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for ``--cli-input-json``. If provided with the value ``output``, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command |
