Rotating the Old AWS Access Key, for a New AWS Access Key in WorkMail

Question

Hi,

Apparently I need to rotate my old AWS Access Key, with a new one that I just created...  In workmail and for mail apps...  How do you replace the old AWS Access Key, with a new one??

Accepted Answer

Hi!  To switch out access keys, check out AWS's documentation on managing access keys: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html#Using_CreateAccessKey.

Keep in mind that Access Keys have 2 parts: an **access key ID** and a **secret access key**.  The only time you can view the secret access key is when it is initially created.  Outside of that, you cannot view it again.
