Creating an Object Tier user for Network Storage

Once you create a Object Tier tenant for Lumen® Network Storage in Control Center, you create users for the tenant. Users cannot be members of multiple tenants and must be unique within the tenant. You can use the same user name across multiple tenants, but each use will have a unique access key and secret key. Be sure to copy down the keys—they only appear in the confirmation window and not in the list of users. You need they keys to provision buckets outside of Control Center and to read/write data to buckets.

Note: Lumen doesn't store access keys or secret keys for users. These keys appear only once—when you create a user. Be sure to store them in text format somewhere on your computer. If you lose your keys, you must create a new user (with a new set of keys) before you can access your data.

To create an Object Tier user for Network Storage:

  1. Click Services.

    Control Center shows the Services console. Use the console to access an inventory of your services, check the status of orders, and manage your services.

Important: Copy and save these keys in text format. You won't be able to see them again after you close the confirmation window. We recommend you capture/store these keys in multiple ways to provide a backup reference.
