The self-service panel is a web-based control panel that allows end users to manage compute and S3 resources in isolated administrative environments.
Limitations

Prerequisites
- The storage cluster is created, as described in Deploying the storage cluster.
- Self-service projects and users are created, as described in Configuring multitenancy.
To be able to access the self-service panel
Admin panel
Open TCP port 8800 on the management node by doing the following:
- On the Infrastructure > Networks screen, click Edit.
