Create Project

Note

This step can only be performed by users with "Admin" rights.

To manage buckets, EC2 credentials¹, and users, you must first create a project. Each project allows for the creation of multiple buckets.

Under fair use terms, you may create multiple projects depending on your service agreement.

To do this, navigate to Object Storage on the left, then to S3.

Click the Create Project button.
Enter a project name and description.
Select object-storage as the Quota Profile.
Click the Create button.

The project has been created and is now displayed.
Proceed to assign user permissions for this project.

Note

Upon selecting the new project in the dashboard, a notification will prompt you to create credentials for this project before you can provision any buckets.

Create EC2 Credentials

To create buckets, you must first create EC2 credentials¹.

To do this, navigate to Object Storage on the left, then to S3.
Select the project (1) for which you intend to create EC2 credentials.
Subsequently, click the Credentials button (2) on the right to open the Credentials window.
Within the Credentials window, new EC2 credentials can be generated by clicking the + Create Credentials button (3).

The generated EC2 credentials¹ will be displayed. (Note: Display may appear distorted here)
Provide a description for the intended use of these credentials.
If authorized[^5], you may also generate user-specific EC2 credentials¹ by enabling the is user credentials flag.
Conclude the process by clicking create.

The EC2 credentials¹ for this project have been successfully created and are now listed.

Click the Select Credentials button (1) to activate the newly generated credentials for bucket management within the web interface.
A green notification will confirm successful selection.

Info

This selection specifies which credentials the web portal will utilize for actions such as bucket creation. The credentials themselves are universally applicable and can also be employed for access via external S3 clients or other third-party tools.

Manage Project Users

You can grant users the necessary permissions to manage buckets within your project.
To do this, you must assign the OS_Role : S3 to the user.
Proceed as follows:

To do this, navigate to Object Storage on the left, then to S3.
Select the project (1) for which you wish to assign user permissions.
Next, click the Credentials button (2) on the right.
Within the Credentials window, navigate to User to modify the relevant permissions.

All project users are now visible.
The s3 role can be assigned to users via the edit button.
Alternatively, you can create a new user using the Create User option.

Note

Kindly note that users must be activated before they can gain access to the buckets.

An EC2 credential comprises an API and Secret Key and is associated with the project. Multiple EC2 credentials can be generated per project. Accessing via EC2 credentials consistently provides visibility to all buckets within a given project. Furthermore, the option to utilize user-specific EC2 credentials is available. ↩↩↩↩↩
