Deleting an EIM Access Key

You can delete an access key associated with a user, for example to remove their access to your resources.

You can use this action for access keys associated with the root user. Therefore, you can use it to manage root credentials even if the OUTSCALE account has no associated EIM users.

The DeleteAccessKey command deletes the specified access key of either your root account or an EIM user.

The access key of an EIM user must be in the INACTIVE state to be deleted.

Request sample: Deleting one of your own access keys (if you are the root account or an EIM user)
$ osc-cli api DeleteAccessKey --profile "default" \

The access key can be either Active or Inactive.

To delete an access key, use the delete-access-key command following this syntax:

Request sample
$ aws iam delete-access-key \
    --profile YOUR_PROFILE \
    --user-name USER_NAME \
    --access-key-id NOPQR2STUVWX3YZABCDE \
    --endpoint https://eim.eu-west-2.outscale.com

This command contains the following attributes that you need to specify:

  • (optional) profile: The named profile you want to use, created when configuring AWS CLI. For more information, see Installing and Configuring AWS CLI.

  • (optional) user-name: The common name of the user whose access key you want to delete.

    If you do not specify a user name, this action deletes an access key associated with the user who sends the request.

  • access-key-id: The ID of the access key you want to delete.

  • endpoint: The endpoint corresponding to the Region you want to send the request to.

The specified access key is deleted.
