nexoctl admin accesskey create

Create an access key (the secret key is printed only once)

Synopsis

Create an access key for a user (by default the user of the alias). The secret key is generated unless --secret-key is given, and is printed only once: store it immediately. --expiry accepts a duration (30d, 12h) or a date (RFC 3339 or 2006-01-02); --policy restricts the key with an inline policy document.
