DeleteAccessKey

Deletes the access key pair associated with the specified IAM user.

If you do not specify a user, IAM determines the user implicitly based on the Astran AlwaysReady® access key ID signing the request. This operation works for access keys under the Astran AlwaysReady® account. Consequently, you can use this operation to manage Astran AlwaysReady® account root account credentials.
