Step 4: Important Note About Access Keys

When a Sub-User is created:

    • Access Key

    • Secret Key

  2. Save this file securely.

  3. If you lose this file, you must: Delete the existing access key and generate a new one again.

Step 7: Verify Access Keys

  1. In the Access Keys section, check:

    • User name

    • Key type (Sub-User)

    • Status (Active)

Now your Sub-User is fully configured and can be used with applications like:
