This guide shows you how to change Ceph user rights using the OVHcloud Console or the API

Using the OVHcloud Console

OVHcloud Console Access

  • Direct link:
  • Navigation path: Bare Metal Cloud > Storage > Cloud Disk Array > Select your service

Using the OVHcloud Console is the easiest way to change user rights.

On your Cloud Disk Array service page, open the Users tab. Click the ... button on the row of the user, then Edit permissions.

The panel lists the pools of the cluster with the current rights of the user (by default, there are no rights). For each pool, tick the rights to grant: Read, Write, Execute, Classread or Classwrite.

Warning

Saving entirely replaces the user's current permissions: a pool with every box unticked loses all its rights.

Click Save. You can follow the operation in progress in the Activities tab.

Using API

PUT/dedicated/ceph/{serviceName}/user/{userName}/pool
GET/dedicated/ceph/{serviceName}/user

Result example:

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, allow rwx pool=mypool",
    key: "AQA9KpdXoBrDNhAAFCM7m/XOtmWh3LMSNlHVqw==",
  }
