+**Example 1: This example creates a new access key and secret access key pair and assigns it to the user`David`. Ensure that you save the `AccessKeyId` and `SecretAccessKey` values to a file because this is the only time you can obtain the `SecretAccessKey`. You cannot retrieve it later. If you lose the secret key, you must create a new access key pair.**
