For example, if you assigned your access policies to a user, you must create a link:https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-userapikey[user API key]. If you assigned your access policies to a service ID, you must create a link:https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-serviceidapikeys[service ID API key]. If your access policies are assigned to an access group, you can use either API key type.
