This command generates an S3 access key pair for a user. The access key pair comprises an access key and a secret key. The access key and secret key are displayed in the command output. The secret key cannot be displayed again. Copy the secret key and keep it safe for usage.

The command can be used for a local provider user by specifying the user's ID and for an external provider user by specifying a UID or SID.
