AWS: Where do I see a list of origin access identities?

Question

When I created a CloudFront distribution, an origin access identity was created, so that CloudFront can use it to access the S3 bucket. But where do I see it? I went through IAM links and I can't find a list of such access identities.

Answer 1

An Origin Access Identity is not an IAM user or role. It's possible to view Origin Access Identities in the following ways:

1. Web console: Click on Origin Access Identity on the panel located on the left of your Cloudfront dashboard

2. CLI tool: Run the following command

   aws cloudfront list-cloud-front-origin-access-identities --output json
