# Create a new access key and secret key for the specific subuser.

{% hint style="info" %}
Remember that when a user is created, an access key is automatically generated in the **Access Keys** section. However, this access key cannot be used to access the user directly.

To access the user, you must create a new access key and secret key for the same user.
{% endhint %}

* Navigate to the **Access Keys** section from the dashboard.
* Click on **Generate Key**.
* Select the required **Subuser** from the list.
* Click on **Generate Key** to create a new access key and secret key.

After generation, a key file will be provided for download.

{% hint style="info" %}
As soon as you generate the access key, the key file is automatically downloaded. This file contains both the **Access Key** and the **Secret Key**.
{% endhint %}

Now that the subuser keys have been generated, use these Access Key and Secret Key to authenticate and access the user.
