Ensure no owner account API key exists
Mô tả
API keys by definition allow access to your account and resources in your account. The API key authenticates the identity and allows all access assigned to the identity for which it was created, therefore an API key created by user with administrative privileges has administrative level access to resources in the account. In accordance with the practice of granting least privilege, API keys should not be created by an account owner because of the level of privilege automatically granted to account-owner created API keys.
