Dell ObjectScale 1.3 Administration Guide

Add additional accounts to an object store

Multiple accounts can be added to an object store. After adding an account to an object store that account becomes a tenant within that object store. A tenant is a logical construct resulting from the binding of an account to an object store.

1. From the ObjectScale Portal user interface, click Administration > ObjectScale.
   The list of Object Stores in the selected namespace that the user is authorized to view is displayed.
2. Select the appropriate namespace from the namespace drop-down on the upper right the ObjectScale Portal user interface.
3. Click the name of the object store.

   The Summary tab of the selected object store appears.

4. Select the Accounts tab.
   The Accounts list appears displaying the accounts currently associated with the object store.
5. Click Add.
   The Add Account to Object Store: <OBJECT_STORE_NAME> wizard is displayed.
6. Complete the Add Account to Object Store wizard using the details of the account you are adding to the object store.
   • Select the Account ID, which will be the tenant to this account to be added to the object store.
   • Type an Alias for this account.
   • Enable/disable Encryption. If enabled all buckets created in this account will be encrypted, if encryption is supported by your ObjectScale license. If set to Disabled, you can still encrypt a bucket at the bucket level when you create the bucket in the object store.
     NOTE:You cannot change this value after you add the account to the object store.
   • Default Bucket Quota limit for the account in the object store.
   • Set the Notification at Quota. This is the quota at which a notification should be sent out. This can be set by providing a quota value in the input box or as percentage of block writes at quota by selecting appropriate % from the drop-down.
   • Set the Block writes at Quota limits for which writes must be blocked.
7. Click Save.
   The selected account is now associated with the object store and is a tenant of the object store.
