Amazon Quick Sight API Access Keys in AmazonQuick SightClient() call

Q&A

I am using the C#.NET code example here Get started with the Amazon QuickSight API - Amazon QuickSight

The example uses an AccessKey and SecretAccessKey when creating new AmazonQuick SightClient. However, I cannot find any documentation on how I get those access keys. Where do I find documentation on getting these keys so that I can make calls to Quick Sight:

using System;
using Amazon.Quick Sight.Model;
using Amazon.Quick Sight;

namespace DotNetQuick SightSDKTest
{
class Program
{
private static readonly string AccessKey = “insert_your_access_key”;
private static readonly string SecretAccessKey = “insert_your_secret_key”;
private static readonly string AccountID = “AWS_account_ID”;
private static readonly string Namespace = “default”; // leave this as default

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var client = new AmazonQuick SightClient(
            AccessKey,
            SecretAccessKey, 
            Amazon.RegionEndpoint.USEast1);

I found it in the AWS Management Console under ‘Identity and Access Management (IAM)’.
