Assigning an Access Key

An access key is used to make programmatic calls to AWS API actions. When using the S3 API, you must have an API access key set to exchange storage files between your application and the Wasabi service. There are two types of access keys:

• Access Key ID

• Secret Access Key

Each key is a text string that you will cut/paste into your storage application. For your protection, you should never share your secret keys with anyone. In addition, industry best practice recommends frequent key rotation.

Provide an overview, procedures, and examples. Include screenshots as needed and helpful. Avoid redundancies and remain consistent.
