1. Open a supported web browser and enter the External IP address and port for the objectscale-portal service:

   https://<EXTERNAL_IP_ADDRESS>:4443

   The ObjectScale Portal login page appears.
2. Use the Username and Password credentials to log in to the ObjectScale Portal.
   For the ObjectScale Software Bundle or the ObjectScale Appliance, your credentials are configured with certain permissions for accessing and maintaining the ObjectScale instance and object stores.
   • You can log in as a local Management User. These accounts are created in ObjectScale. Local Management Users have permissions that define specific access to all or portions of ObjectScale.
   • If external identity providers are integrated into ObjectScale, you can log in as an externally defined AD or LDAP end user. Identity provider end user accounts are mapped to ObjectScale permissions that define specific access to all or portions of ObjectScale.
   • When the Privileged Actions Approval System (PAAS) is enabled, you can log in as an Approver User. Approvers are created in ObjectScale. Their purpose is to approve or reject requests for performing protected actions in PAAS.
   For ObjectScale on OpenShift, obtain your credentials using the OpenShift identity provider user that is configured for accessing the ObjectScale instance or object store.
   • You can log in as kubeadmin and can have access to the entire ObjectScale instance and you can create object stores in any namespace you have configured.

   • You can log in as an OpenShift Identity Provider User end user and can access only the namespaces to which you have permissions.

     • If you log in as an end user who has edit permissions to a specific namespace, you can manage the object store in that namespace. All other ObjectScale features are not available.
     • If you log in as an end user who has view permissions to a specific namespace, you can view the Object Store in that namespace. All other ObjectScale features are not available.
