Unique ID that IAM assigns to a user, user group, role, policy, instance profile, certificate or public key. A four-letter prefix gives the resource type: AIDA (user), AGPA (user group), AROA (role), ANPA (managed policy), ANVA (policy version), AIPA (instance profile), ASCA (certificate), APKA (public key), ABIA (STS bearer token) and ACCA (context-specific credential). The documented examples have 17 more uppercase letters and digits. Access key IDs (AKIA, ASIA) are the datatype aws_access_key_id.
