Add a domain user as an object user

You can configure domain users so that they can access the ECS object store and generate secret keys for themselves. By doing so, they add themselves as object users to ECS.

Before you begin

  • AD or LDAP domain users must have been added to ECS through an AD or LDAP authentication provider. Adding an authentication provider must be performed by a System Administrator and is described in Add an AD or LDAP authentication provider.
  • Domain users must have been added into a namespace by a System or Namespace Administrator as described in Add domain users into a namespace.

Procedure

Domain users can create secret keys for themselves by using the instructions in the ECS Data Access Guide, available from the ECS Product Documentation page.
When a domain user creates their own secret key, they become an object user in the ECS system.
