For optimization and VM discovery you can configure the account to connect using access keys.

Before you begin:

Create an IAM user for Perforce Unified Compliance. For full instructions on configuring an IAM user, see the AWS documentation.

After assigning permissions:

  1. Complete the creation process, then click Create user.

  2. Download the Access key and Secret access key when prompted.

    The access key and secret access key are provided only once.
