  1. Create with explicit keys: mc admin user svcacct add myminio <parent-user> --access-key <MYKEY> --secret-key <MYSECRET>
  2. Omit --secret-key (and/or --access-key) to let MinIO generate random values.
  3. Attach a scoped policy at creation: --policy /path/scoped-policy.json
  4. Label it: --name svc-uploader --description 'CI upload pipeline'
  5. Set an expiry if needed: --expiry 2027-01-01T00:00:00Z
