delete-access-key¶
Deletes the access key pair associated with the specified user.
If you do not specify a user name, the user name is determined implicitly based on the access key ID signing 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.
See also: DeleteAccessKey.
Synopsis¶

Options¶
--user-name
(string)
The name of the user whose access key pair you will delete.
This parameter allows a string of characters consisting of upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the characters “_”, “+”, “=”, “,”, “.”, “@”, and “-“.
--access-key-id
(string)
The access key ID for the access key ID and secret access key to delete.
This parameter allows a string of characters that can consist of any upper- or lower-case letter or digit.
--cli-input-json
(string)
Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values override the JSON-provided values. You cannot pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.
Examples¶
Note
If the user-name
option is not specified, the user name is determined based
on the AccessKeyId used to sign the request.
