ECS object users can be given credentials to access the ECS object store using the OpenStack Swift protocol.
This operation requires the System Administrator or Namespace Administrator role in ECS.
A System Administrator can assign new object users into any namespace.
A Namespace Administrator can assign new object users into the namespace in which they are the administrator.
The Swift user must belong to an OpenStack group. A group is a collection of Swift users that have been assigned a role by an OpenStack administrator. Swift users that belong to the
admin group can perform all operations on Swift buckets (containers) in the namespace to which they belong. You should not add ordinary Swift users to the
admin group. For Swift users that belong to any group other than the
admin group, authorization depends on the permissions that are set on the Swift bucket. You can assign permissions on the bucket from the OpenStack Dashboard UI or in the ECS Portal using the Custom Group ACL for the bucket. For more information on custom group ACLs and adding object users to ECS, see the
ECS Administration Guide which is available from the
https://www.dell.com/support/ .
In the ECS Portal, select
Manage > Users.
On the
User Management page, you can create a new object user who will access the ECS object store through the Swift object protocol in one of two ways:
Click
New Object User to create a new object user.
On the
New Object User page, in the
Name field, type a name for the object user.
In the
Namespace field, select the namespace to which the user belongs.
Click
Next to Add Passwords.
Click
Edit in the
Actions column beside an existing user and add a Swift password to the existing user.
On the
Update Passwords for User <username> page, in the
Swift Groups field, enter the Swift group to which the user belongs.
If you specify the
admin group, users will automatically be able to perform all container operations. If you specify a different group, that group must be given permissions on the container. Refer to
Authorization on Container for more information on container authorization.
In the
Swift password field, type a password for the Swift user.
Click
Set Groups & Password.
