ECS 3.6.1 Administration Guide

Working with users in the ECS Portal

You can use the User Management page available from Manage > Users to create local users who are assigned as object users for a namespace. You can also create management users, which can be new local users to whom you assign management roles, or domain users to whom you assign management roles.

The User Management page has two tabs: the Object Users tab and the Management Users tab.

Object Users tab

You can use the Object Users tab to view the details of object users, to edit object users, and to delete object users. The object users who are listed on this page include:

The local object users who are created by a System or Namespace Administrator in the ECS Portal.
The domain users that have become object users by way of obtaining a secret key using a client that communicates with the ECS Management REST API.

A System Administrator sees the object users for all namespaces. A Namespace Administrator sees only the object users in their namespace.
