Generate an access key for another user or machine user

Only administrator can generate API access keys for other users, including machine users.

Sign in to the CDP console as an Administrator.
From the CDP home page, click Management Console.
On the side navigation panel, click Users.
On the Users page, click the name of the user or machine user account for which you want to generate an access key.
On the user account page, go to the Access Keys section and click Generate Access Key.
CDP creates the key and displays the information on the screen.
Copy the access key and private key to a text file and send it to the CDP user who requires it.
The private key is a very long string of characters. Make sure that you copy the full string. You can optionally download the credentials file containing the access key information.
Click OK to exit the access key window.

note
The CDP console displays the API access key immediately after you create it. You must copy or download the access key ID and private key information when it is displayed. Do not exit the console without copying the private key. After you exit the console, there is no other way to view or copy the private key.

Once you have generated the access key, you can configure CDP CLI, SDK, or other utilities that require it.
