Creating users

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

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.

Procedure

Log in to the Dashboard.
Click the Dashboard Settings icon and then click User management.
On Users tab, click Create.
In the Create User window, set the Username and other parameters including the roles, and then click Create User.

You get a notification that the user was created successfully.
