It s generally best to pass this in via config That way you re protected if you accidentally use the wrong provider access key If you don t line up the root user and the provider then it won t work

Since you want the root user you must be doing something potentially dangerous destructive so having an extra layer of protection against misconfiguration is usually a good idea
