Create a storage account

Edit online

Storage accounts are entities on which users and containers are created. Often, storage accounts are the entity that is billed for the storage usage. The creation of the storage account is the first step in allowing access to the system.

Storage accounts are created through Service API requests, as in the following example:

curl "http://<accesser ip>:8337/accounts/<storage account name>" -X PUT -u <user name>:<password>

<accesser ip> is the IP address of an Accesser® Device that belongs to an access pool with the service API enabled. To use an IPv6 address, enclose the Accesser IP in square brackets: [<accesser ip>].
<storage account name> is the name of the storage account that is created. The storage account name must be unique.
<user name> is the user name of a manager account that has the Service Account role.
<password> is the password of the <user name>.
