In Amazon EC2, how do I copy a EBS volume to another user?

Question

I have created an amazon EBS volume using my amazon credentials. My customer gave me his customer credentials so that I create for him an EC2 machinge with the disk I created attached, how do I do that?

I'm using the web console, if it matters

==================

Let me add that when I do create volume in my customer's account and put my snapshot id as snapshot I get "snapshot snap-1xyz1234" does not exist. Need I somehow tell that the snaphsot is another user's

This is possible. Look for "Modifying Snapshot Permissions" in the official docs.

The best way may be to start up an EC2 instance under each account, and copy it over the network. VM->VM network traffic is pretty fast, and more importantly free.
