- Enter a name for the access key.
- Select a region from the list of enabled regions in the dropdown list.
- Set an expiry date and time for the access key.
- Select the access permission for the access key.
- Assign buckets, if you want to enable access using these keys. You can choose specific or all buckets.
Note: By default, all buckets will be selected. - Click 'Create Access Key'. An Access Key ID and Secret Access Key will be generated.
Download / copy and save the details of the access key.
You can view and manage all access keys created under your account, including the ones you create for yourself and those created by your users, from the 'Access Key' tab.
Note:
- Access and manage your IDrive® e2 storage using third-party S3 compatible tools from up to 1000 concurrent HTTP connections.
- You can create up to 250 access keys in a region. Contact support for further assistance.
The 'Enabled regions' section on the Dashboard tab displays the endpoint URL for all enabled regions. To add to the enabled regions list, click 'Add New Region', select a region from the dropdown, and click 'Enable'.
IDrive® e2 provides region-specific service endpoint URLs so that you can connect your third-party application to the endpoint that matches your bucket's region. This ensures optimal performance, reduces latency, and speeds up data transfers.
