Chapter 3. Administration (CLI)

Use the user create command to create an S3-interface user. You MUST specify a user ID and a display name. You may also specify an email address. If you DO NOT specify a key or secret, radosgw-admin will generate them for you automatically. However, you may specify a key and/or a secret if you prefer not to use generated key/secret pairs.

radosgw-admin user create --uid=<id> \
[--key-type=<type>] [--gen-access-key|--access-key=<key>]\
[--gen-secret | --secret=<key>] \
[--email=<email>] --display-name=<name>

For example:

radosgw-admin user create --uid=janedoe --display-name="Jane Doe" --email=jane@example.com

{ "user_id": "janedoe",
  "display_name": "Jane Doe",
  "email": "jane@example.com",
  "suspended": 0,
  "max_buckets": 1000,
  "auid": 0,
  "subusers": [],
  "keys": [
        { "user": "janedoe",
          "access_key": "11BS02LGFB6AL6H1ADMW",
          "secret_key": "vzCEkuryfn060dfee4fgQPqFrncKEIkh3ZcdOANY"}],
  "swift_keys": [],
  "caps": [],
  "op_mask": "read, write, delete",
  "default_placement": "",
  "placement_tags": [],
  "bucket_quota": { "enabled": false,
      "max_size_kb": -1,
      "max_objects": -1},
  "user_quota": { "enabled": false,
      "max_size_kb": -1,
      "max_objects": -1},
  "temp_url_keys": []}

To create a subuser (Swift interface), you must specify the user ID (--uid={username}), a subuser ID and the access level for the subuser. If you DO NOT specify a key or secret, radosgw-admin will generate them for you automatically. However, you may specify a key and/or a secret if you prefer not to use generated key/secret pairs.

radosgw-admin subuser create --uid={uid} --subuser={uid} --access=[ read | write | readwrite | full ]

For example:

radosgw-admin subuser create --uid=janedoe --subuser=janedoe:swift --access=full

{ "user_id": "janedoe",
  "display_name": "Jane Doe",
  "email": "jane@example.com",
  "suspended": 0,
  "max_buckets": 1000,
  "auid": 0,
  "subusers": [
        { "id": "janedoe:swift",
          "permissions": "full-control"}],
  "keys": [
        { "user": "janedoe",
          "access_key": "11BS02LGFB6AL6H1ADMW",
          "secret_key": "vzCEkuryfn060dfee4fgQPqFrncKEIkh3ZcdOANY"}],
  "swift_keys": [],
  "caps": [],
  "op_mask": "read, write, delete",
  "default_placement": "",
  "placement_tags": [],
  "bucket_quota": { "enabled": false,
      "max_size_kb": -1,
      "max_objects": -1},
  "user_quota": { "enabled": false,
      "max_size_kb": -1,
      "max_objects": -1},
  "temp_url_keys": []}

To get information about a user, you must specify user info and the user ID (--uid={username}) . :

radosgw-admin user info --uid=janedoe

To modify information about a user, you must specify the user ID (--uid={username}) and the attributes you want to modify. Typical modifications are to keys and secrets, email addresses, display names and access levels. For example:

radosgw-admin user modify --uid=janedoe --display-name="Jane E. Doe"

To modify subuser values, specify subuser modify and the subuser ID. For example:

radosgw-admin subuser modify --uid=janedoe:swift --access=full

When you create a user, the user is enabled by default. However, you may suspend user privileges and re-enable them at a later time. To suspend a user, specify user suspend and the user ID. :

radosgw-admin user suspend --uid=johndoe

To re-enable a suspended user, specify user enable and the user ID. :

radosgw-admin user enable --uid=johndoe

When you remove a user, the user and subuser are removed from the system. However, you may remove just the subuser if you wish. To remove a user (and subuser), specify user rm and the user ID.

radosgw-admin user rm --uid=<uid> [--purge-keys] [--purge-data]

For example:

radosgw-admin user rm --uid=johndoe --purge-data

To remove the subuser only, specify subuser rm and the subuser name.

radosgw-admin subuser rm --subuser=johndoe:swift --purge-keys

Options include:

When you remove a sub user, you are removing access to the Swift interface. The user will remain in the system. The Ceph Object Gateway To remove the subuser, specify subuser rm and the subuser ID. :

radosgw-admin subuser rm --uid=johndoe:swift

Options include:

To create a key for a user, you must specify key create. For a user, specify the user ID and the s3 key type. To create a key for subuser, you must specify the subuser ID and the swift keytype. For example:

radosgw-admin key create --subuser=johndoe:swift --key-type=swift --gen-secret

{ "user_id": "johndoe",
  "rados_uid": 0,
  "display_name": "John Doe",
  "email": "john@example.com",
  "suspended": 0,
  "subusers": [
     { "id": "johndoe:swift",
       "permissions": "full-control"}],
  "keys": [
    { "user": "johndoe",
      "access_key": "QFAMEDSJP5DEKJO0DDXY",
      "secret_key": "iaSFLDVvDdQt6lkNzHyW4fPLZugBAI1g17LO0+87"}],
  "swift_keys": [
    { "user": "johndoe:swift",
      "secret_key": "E9T2rUZNu2gxUjcwUBO8n\/Ev4KX6\/GprEuH4qhu1"}]}

Users and subusers must have access keys to use the S3 and Swift interfaces. When you create a user or subuser and you do not specify an access key and secret, the key and secret get generated automatically. You may create a key and either specify or generate the access key and/or secret. You may also remove an access key and secret. Options include:

To add a key, specify the user. :

radosgw-admin key create --uid=johndoe --key-type=s3 --gen-access-key --gen-secret

You may also specify a key and a secret.

To remove an access key, specify the user. :

radosgw-admin key rm --uid=johndoe

The Ceph Storage Cluster provides an administrative API that enables users to execute administrative functions via the REST API. By default, users DO NOT have access to this API. To enable a user to exercise administrative functionality, provide the user with administrative capabilities.

To add administrative capabilities to a user, execute the following:

radosgw-admin caps add --uid={uid} --caps={caps}

You can add read, write or all capabilities to users, buckets, metadata and usage (utilization). For example:

--caps="[users|buckets|metadata|usage|zone]=[*|read|write|read, write]"

For example:

radosgw-admin caps add --uid=johndoe --caps="users=*"

To remove administrative capabilities from a user, execute the following:

radosgw-admin caps remove --uid=johndoe --caps={caps}

Before you enable a quota, you must first set the quota parameters. For example:

radosgw-admin quota set --quota-scope=user --uid=<uid> [--max-objects=<num objects>] [--max-size=<max size>]

For example:

radosgw-admin quota set --quota-scope=user --uid=johndoe --max-objects=1024 --max-size=1024

A negative value for num objects and / or max size means that the specific quota attribute check is disabled.

Once you set a user quota, you may enable it. For example:

radosgw-admin quota enable --quota-scope=user --uid=<uid>

You may disable an enabled user quota. For example:

radosgw-admin quota-disable --quota-scope=user --uid=<uid>

Bucket quotas apply to the buckets owned by the specified uid. They are independent of the user. :

radosgw-admin quota set --uid=<uid> --quota-scope=bucket [--max-objects=<num objects>] [--max-size=<max size]

A negative value for num objects and / or max size means that the specific quota attribute check is disabled.

Once you set a bucket quota, you may enable it. For example:

radosgw-admin quota enable --quota-scope=bucket --uid=<uid>

You may disable an enabled bucket quota. For example:

radosgw-admin quota-disable --quota-scope=bucket --uid=<uid>

You may access each user’s quota settings via the user information API. To read user quota setting information with the CLI interface, execute the following:

radosgw-admin user info --uid=<uid>

Quota stats get updated asynchronously. You can update quota statistics for all users and all buckets manually to retrieve the latest quota stats. :

radosgw-admin user stats --uid=<uid> --sync-stats

To see how much of the quota a user has consumed, execute the following:

radosgw-admin user stats --uid=<uid>

You can read and write quota settings in a region map. To get a region map:

radosgw-admin regionmap get > regionmap.json

To set quota settings for the entire region, modify the quota settings in the region map. Then, use the regionmap set command to update the region map:

radosgw-admin regionmap set < regionmap.json

To show usage statistics, specify the usage show. To show usage for a particular user, you must specify a user ID. You may also specify a start date, end date, and whether or not to show log entries.:

radosgw-admin usage show --uid=johndoe --start-date=2012-03-01 --end-date=2012-04-01

You may also show a summary of usage information for all users by omitting a user ID. :

radosgw-admin usage show --show-log-entries=false

With heavy use, usage logs can begin to take up storage space. You can trim usage logs for all users and for specific users. You may also specify date ranges for trim operations. :

radosgw-admin usage trim --start-date=2010-01-01 --end-date=2010-12-31
radosgw-admin usage trim --uid=johndoe
radosgw-admin usage trim --uid=johndoe --end-date=2013-12-31

Normally, in a healthy storage cluster you should not have any leaking objects, but in some cases leaky objects can occur. For example, if the RADOS Gateway goes down in the middle of an operation, this may cause some RADOS objects to become orphans. Also, unknown bugs may cause these orphan objects to occur. The radosgw-admin command provides you a tool to search for these orphan objects and clean them up. With the --pool option, you can specify which pool to scan for leaky RADOS objects. With the --num-shards option, you may specify the number of shards to use for keeping temporary scan data.
