Can a Key Pair Be Shared by Multiple Users?

Key pairs cannot be shared across accounts, but can be shared by the IAM users under the same account in either of the following ways:

• Import a key pair. To let multiple IAM users use the same key pair, you can create a key pair (by using PuTTYgen or other tools) and import it as an IAM user resource. For details, see Importing a Key Pair.
• Upgrade a private key pair to an account key pair. You can upgrade a key pair created on the management console by referring to Creating a Key Pair Using the Management Console. Or you can upgrade a created key pair by referring to Upgrading a Key Pair.
