Creating a user in the Multicloud Object Gateway

Before you begin

A running Fusion Data Foundation Platform.
Download the MCG command-line interface for easier management.
```
subscription-manager repos --enable=rh-odf-4-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
```
```
yum install mcg
```
Note: Specify the appropriate architecture for enabling the repositories using the subscription manager.
- For IBM Power, use the following command:
```
subscription-manager repos --enable=rh-odf-4-for-rhel-8-ppc64le-rpms
```
- For IBM Z infrastructure, use the following command:
```
subscription-manager repos --enable=rh-odf-4-for-rhel-8-s390x-rpms
```
Alternatively, you can install the MCG package from the RPMs found at Download Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation page.

Note: Choose the correct Product Variant according to your architecture.

Run the following command to create an MCG user account:

noobaa account create <noobaa-account-name> [--allow_bucket_create=true] [--allowed_buckets=[]] [--default_resource=''] [--full_permission=false]

noobaa-account-name: Specify the name of the new MCG user account.
--allow_bucket_create: Allows the user to create new buckets.
--allowed_buckets: Sets the user’s allowed bucket list (use commas or multiple flags).
--default_resource: Sets the default resource. The new buckets are created on this default resource (including the future ones).
--full_permission: Allows this account to access all existing and future buckets.

Important: You need to provide permission to access at least one bucket or full permission to access all the buckets.
