Find the owner of an AWS Access Key

This is something you will have to deal with at one time or another after managing AWS IAM users for a while. Basically, it’s straight forward with the following code:

  • Get a list of users
    • for each user get their access key IDs
    • (optional) pipe to grep for checking a specific ID

And here’s the `aws-cli` code

for user in $(aws iam list-users --output text --query 'Users[*].UserName'); do     
  aws iam list-access-keys --user $user --output text; 
done

# or 
Q_ACCESSKEY=AKIA*************
for user in $(aws iam list-users --output text --query 'Users[*].UserName'); do     
  aws iam list-access-keys --user $user --output text | grep $Q_ACCESSKEY 
done
