Creating S3 users

Limitations

• S3 users created in the S3 service cannot log in to the self-service panel.

Prerequisites

• The S3 cluster is created by following the instructions in Creating the S3 cluster.
• Before creating a project S3 user, ensure that the project has the S3 service enabled, as described in Enabling S3 for projects.

To add an S3 user

1. On the Storage services > S3 > Users screen, click Create user.

2. Specify a valid email address as login for the user, and then click Create.

   

To create an S3 user inside a project

Use the following command:

vinfra service s3 project user create --project <project> --domain <domain> --name <name>

--project <project>

Project name or ID

--domain <domain>

Domain name or ID (required when a project name is specified)

--name <name>

S3 user name

For example, to create the user myuser in the project myproject within the domain mydomain, run:

# vinfra service s3 project user create --project myproject --domain mydomain --name myuser

You can check that the user is successfully created and obtain its ID in the vinfra service s3 project user list output:

# vinfra service s3 project user list --project myproject --domain mydomain
