Creating users

Edit online

You can create users on the IBM Storage Ceph Dashboard with adequate roles and permissions based on their roles. For example, if you want the user to manage Ceph Object Gateway operations, then you can give rgw-manager role to the user.

Prerequisites

Edit online

  • A running IBM Storage Ceph cluster.

  • Dashboard is installed.

  • Admin-level of access to the Dashboard.

Note: The IBM Storage Ceph Dashboard does not support any email verification when changing a users password. This behavior is intentional, because the Dashboard supports Single Sign-On (SSO) and this feature can be delegated to the SSO provider.
