Last Updated:Apr 24, 2024

This topic describes how to disable an AccessKey pair of a Resource Access Management (RAM) user. If the permissions required by a RAM user change or if the RAM user no longer needs to access Alibaba Cloud resources by calling API operations, you can disable the AccessKey pair of the RAM user.
