Generate a Key
For each user, an Object Storage Key is generated automatically, which is activated when the user is granted permission to use the IONOS S3 Object Storage. A maximum of five unique Object Storage Keys can be created per user for different S3 applications. For more information, see Access keys.
Prerequisite: Make sure you have the corresponding permission to create the Object Storage. Only contract owners and administrators with the Object-Storage-Key can set up the object storage.
To create Object Storage keys, follow these steps:
1. In the DCD, go to Menu > Storage > IONOS S3 Object Storage.
2. In the Key management tab, go to the Access keys section and click Generate a key.
3. Confirm key generation by clicking Generate.
Result: A new access key for IONOS S3 Object Storage is successfully generated and is in active status by default.
You can copy the Access Key and Secret Key from the respective fields to sign in to other Object Storage applications.
To deactivate or delete keys, see Manage Keys.
