I’ll introduce how to create access keys for AWS CLI with AWS IAM PowerUser.

Background: Want to Create Access Keys for AWS CLI with PowerUser

A PowerUser requested to “create access keys for AWS CLI,” so I researched implementation methods to address this.

Solution 1) Create Access Keys on Their Behalf

A user with AdministratorAccess can create access keys on their behalf and provide them.

Solution 2) Customize IAM Permissions

Referencing the article I Just Wanted PowerUser to Issue IAMUser ~ Experiencing the Complexity of Permissions ~ | DevelopersIO (PowerUserでIAMUserを発行できるようになりたかっただけなのに権限の複雑さを味わってみた | DevelopersIO), there’s also a solution to enable access key creation by customizing IAM permissions.

That’s all from the Gemba on wanting to use access keys for AWS CLI with AWS IAM PowerUser.
