# ListAccessKeys
<a name="API_ListAccessKeys"></a>

Returns information about the access key IDs associated with the specified IAM user. If there is none, the operation returns an empty list.

Although each user is limited to a small number of keys, you can still paginate the results using the `MaxItems` and `Marker` parameters.

If the `UserName` is not specified, the user name is determined implicitly based on the AWS access key ID used to sign the request. If a temporary access key is used, then `UserName` is required. If a long-term key is assigned to the user, then `UserName` is not required.

This operation works for access keys under the AWS account. If the AWS account has no associated users, the root user returns it's own access key IDs by running this command.

**Note**  
To ensure the security of your AWS account, the secret access key is accessible only during key and user creation.

## Request Parameters
<a name="API_ListAccessKeys_RequestParameters"></a>

 For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see [Common Parameters](CommonParameters.md).

 ** Marker **   
Use this parameter only when paginating results and only after you receive a response indicating that the results are truncated. Set it to the value of the `Marker` element in the response that you received to indicate where the next call should start.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1.  
Pattern: `[\u0020-\u00FF]+`   
Required: No

 ** MaxItems **   
Use this only when paginating results to indicate the maximum number of items you want in the response. If additional items exist beyond the maximum you specify, the `IsTruncated` response element is `true`.  
If you do not include this parameter, the number of items defaults to 100. Note that IAM might return fewer results, even when there are more results available. In that case, the `IsTruncated` response element returns `true`, and `Marker` contains a value to include in the subsequent call that tells the service where to continue from.  
Type: Integer  
Valid Range: Minimum value of 1. Maximum value of 1000.  
Required: No

 ** UserName **   
The name of the user.  
This parameter allows (through its [regex pattern](http://wikipedia.org/wiki/regex)) a string of characters consisting of upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the following characters: \$1\$1=,.@-  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.  
Pattern: `[\w+=,.@-]+`   
Required: No

## Response Elements
<a name="API_ListAccessKeys_ResponseElements"></a>

The following elements are returned by the service.

 **AccessKeyMetadata.member.N**   
A list of objects containing metadata about the access keys.  
Type: Array of [AccessKeyMetadata](API_AccessKeyMetadata.md) objects

 ** IsTruncated **   
A flag that indicates whether there are more items to return. If your results were truncated, you can make a subsequent pagination request using the `Marker` request parameter to retrieve more items. Note that IAM might return fewer than the `MaxItems` number of results even when there are more results available. We recommend that you check `IsTruncated` after every call to ensure that you receive all your results.  
Type: Boolean

 ** Marker **   
When `IsTruncated` is `true`, this element is present and contains the value to use for the `Marker` parameter in a subsequent pagination request.  
Type: String

## Errors
<a name="API_ListAccessKeys_Errors"></a>

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see [Common Error Types](CommonErrors.md).

 ** NoSuchEntity **   
The request was rejected because it referenced a resource entity that does not exist. The error message describes the resource.  
HTTP Status Code: 404

 ** ServiceFailure **   
The request processing has failed because of an unknown error, exception or failure.  
HTTP Status Code: 500
