### Using the API

:::tip
If you are not familiar with the OVHcloud API, read our [First Steps with the OVHcloud API](/de/guides/manage-and-operate/api/first-steps.md) guide.

:::

You can create a user using this API route:


🇪🇺EU▾

[POST/dedicated/ceph/{serviceName}/user](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/dedicated/ceph&branch=v1#post-/dedicated/ceph/-serviceName-/user)

`serviceName` is the fsid of your cluster.

You can also check the user creation by creating a list of users:


🇪🇺EU▾

[GET/dedicated/ceph/{serviceName}/user](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/dedicated/ceph&branch=v1#get-/dedicated/ceph/-serviceName-/user)

```bash
GET /dedicated/ceph/98d166d8-7c88-47b7-9cb6-63acd5a59c15/user
[
  {
    mdsCaps: ""
    monCaps: "allow r"
    serviceName: "98d166d8-7c88-47b7-9cb6-63acd5a59c15"
    name: "myuser"
    osdCaps: "allow class-read object_prefix rbd_children"
    key: "AQA9KpdXoBrDNhAAFCM7m/XOtmWh3LMSNlHVqw=="
  }
]
```
