Hi, how to get the *AccessKey Secret* when *initially* *creating* an *IAM user* with Pulumi?

Here’s the code:
```new aws.iam.AccessKey(
  'test-access-key',
  { user: testIamUser.name }
)```
And here’s the `pulumi up` *Output*:
```accessKey              : {
  id    : "AKIA3U6R3XXXXX2UPF44"
  secret: [secret]
}```
How do I initially get that `[secret]`  value :question:

Thanks

Solved with:
```pupumi stack output -s &lt;ORG/STACK&gt; accessKey --json --show-secrets```
If someone knows a better way, let me know.

If you need it outside of the Pulumi program, this is the correct way to do it (though the --json opt is optional).

:ok_hand: Yup, I needed to share it with the *Unreal Engine* team so they can use the *S3 Unreal Plugin*
