### Parameters {#parameters}

##### `ALIAS` {#mc.admin.accesskey.info.ALIAS}

### Display access key details {#display-access-key-details}

Use [`mc admin accesskey info`](#command-mc.admin.accesskey.info) to display details of an access key on a MinIO deployment:

```shell
   mc admin accesskey info myminio myaccesskey
```

- Replace `myminio` with the [`alias`](/reference/minio-mc/mc-alias/#command-mc.alias) of the MinIO deployment.
- Replace [`myaccesskey`](/reference/minio-mc-admin/mc-admin-user-svcacct-info/#mc.admin.user.svcacct.info.ACCESSKEY) with the access key for which to display information. List multiple keys by separating each with a space.

The output resembles the following:

```shell
AccessKey: myuserserviceaccount
ParentUser: myuser
Status: on
Comment:
Policy: implied
Expiration: no-expiry
```

## Behavior {#behavior}

### S3 Compatibility {#s3-compatibility}

The **`mc`** commandline tool is built for compatibility with the AWS S3 API and is tested with MinIO and AWS S3 for expected functionality and behavior.

MinIO provides no guarantees for other S3-compatible services, as their S3 API implementation is unknown and therefore unsupported. While **`mc`** commands *may* work as documented, any such usage is at your own risk.
