Returns the account identifier for the specified access key ID.
Access keys consist of two parts: an access key ID (for example,
AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE) and a secret access key (for example,
wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY). For more information about
access keys, see Managing Access Keys for IAM
Users in the IAM User Guide.
When you pass an access key ID to this operation, it returns the ID of the Amazon Web Services account
to which the keys belong. Access key IDs beginning with AKIA are long-term
credentials for an IAM user or the Amazon Web Services account root user. Access key IDs beginning with
ASIA are temporary credentials that are created using STS operations. If
the account in the response belongs to you, you can sign in as the root user and review
your root user access keys. Then, you can pull a credentials report to
learn which IAM user owns the keys. To learn who requested the temporary credentials for
an ASIA access key, view the STS events in your CloudTrail logs in the
IAM User Guide.
This operation does not indicate the state of the access key. The key might be active,
inactive, or deleted. Active keys might not have permissions to perform an operation.
Providing a deleted access key might return an error that the key doesn't exist.
