Control: AWS > CIS v1 > 1 Identity and Access Management > 1.21 Do not setup access keys during initial user setup for all IAM users that have a console password (Not Scored)

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 1 (Not Scored)

AWS console defaults the checkbox for creating access keys to enabled. This results in many access keys being generated unnecessarily. In addition to unnecessary credentials, it also generates unnecessary management work in auditing and rotating these keys.
