## Description {#description}

The [`mc admin user svcacct`](#command-mc.admin.user.svcacct) command and its subcommands create and manage [Access Keys](/administration/identity-access-management/minio-user-management/#minio-idp-service-account) on a MinIO deployment.

As of MinIO Client RELEASE.2024-10-08T09-37-26Z, these commands have been replaced by [`mc admin accesskey`](/reference/minio-mc-admin/mc-admin-accesskey/#command-mc.admin.accesskey) and [`mc idp ldap accesskey`](/reference/minio-mc/mc-idp-ldap-accesskey/#command-mc.idp.ldap.accesskey). This command and its subcommands will be deprecated in a future MinIO Client release.

Each access key is linked to a [user identity](/administration/identity-access-management/#minio-authentication-and-identity-management) and inherits the [policies](/administration/identity-access-management/policy-based-access-control/#minio-policy) attached to its parent user *or* those groups in which the parent user has membership. Each access key also supports an optional inline policy which further restricts access to a subset of actions and resources available to the parent user.

[`mc admin user svcacct`](#command-mc.admin.user.svcacct) only supports creating access keys for [MinIO-managed](/administration/identity-access-management/minio-user-management/#minio-users) and [Active Directory/LDAP-managed](/administration/identity-access-management/ad-ldap-access-management/#minio-external-identity-management-ad-ldap) accounts.

To create access keys for [OpenID Connect-managed users](/administration/identity-access-management/oidc-access-management/#minio-external-identity-management-openid), log into the [MinIO Console](/administration/minio-console/#minio-console) and generate the access keys through the UI.

The [`mc admin user svcacct`](#command-mc.admin.user.svcacct) command has the following subcommands:
