Moving buckets between non-tenanted users

The radosgw-admin bucket chown command provides the ability to change the ownership of buckets and all objects they contain from one user to another.

To move buckets between non-tenant users, unlink a bucket from the current user, link it to a new user, and change the ownership of the bucket to the new user.

Procedure

Link the bucket to a new user:

Syntax

radosgw-admin bucket link --uid=USER --bucket=BUCKET

Example

[ceph: root@host01 /]# radosgw-admin bucket link --uid=user2 --bucket=data

Verify that the bucket has been linked to user2 successfully:

Example

[ceph: root@host01 /]# radosgw-admin bucket list --uid=user2
[
    "data"
]

Change the ownership of the bucket to the new user:

Syntax

radosgw-admin bucket chown --uid=user --bucket=bucket

Example

[ceph: root@host01 /]# radosgw-admin bucket chown --uid=user2 --bucket=data

Verify that the ownership of the data bucket has been successfully changed by checking the owner line in the output of the following command:

Example
```
[ceph: root@host01 /]# radosgw-admin bucket list --bucket=data
```
