According to AWS security best practices, an AWS account's root access key credentials should not be used for day-to-day interactions. An AWS account's root credentials have too much power.

As such, we prevent our users from registering root credentials with Skeddly.
​
Instead, create an IAM role or IAM user whose only purpose is to delegate access to Skeddly.
