# Users

Create Users, manage access keys with scoped permissions, and understand isolation from the Root user.

The **Users** page manages additional storage identities under your account. Each User has isolated buckets and its own access keys.

**Navigation:** **e3 Object Storage → Users**

## Users list

The table shows:

| Column          | Description                                                        |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Username**    | User identifier (Root appears as **Root user**)                    |
| **Account ID**  | Tenant ID (Users share the account’s billing; ID is shown per row) |
| **Buckets**     | Bucket count                                                       |
| **Storage**     | Total stored data                                                  |
| **Access keys** | Number of keys                                                     |
| **Actions**     | **Manage** or **Locked**                                           |

Use **Search users…** to filter the list.

## Create User

1. Click **Create User**.
2. Enter a **Username** (e.g. `backup-server`, `veeam-target`).
3. Click **Create**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Creating a User does **not** ask for a password. Users are storage identities, not portal logins. You manage them only from your logged-in owner account.
{% endhint %}

## Manage a User

Click **Manage** (or a row) to open the side panel:

* Summary: **Buckets**, **Storage**, **Access keys**
* **Access keys** table with description, permission, created date
* **+ Create access key** (password verification required)
* **Delete** on individual keys

### Root user in the list

The Root user appears in the table. From **Manage**:

* **Rotate access key** or **Create access key** — same as the **Access Keys** page (one key only).
* Secret shown once on create/rotate.

### User keys and permissions

When creating a key for a User, choose **Permission**:

| Permission     | Typical use                                              |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Full**       | Read, write, list, bucket management for that user       |
| **Read/Write** | Upload, download, list objects (no bucket create/delete) |
| **Read**       | Download and list only                                   |
| **Write**      | Upload only                                              |

{% hint style="danger" %}
Store the secret key when shown. It cannot be retrieved later from the UI.
{% endhint %}

## Delete Users

Select Users with **no buckets** and use **Delete** (bulk delete supported). You cannot delete:

* **Root user**
* Users with **Locked** status (system-managed)
* Users that still have buckets — empty or delete buckets first

## Create a bucket for a User

**Buckets → Create Bucket → Select Bucket Owner** → choose the User.

Only that User’s keys can access the bucket. Root and other Users cannot.

## Isolation summary

* Each User’s keys work only on that User’s buckets.
* Root keys work only on Root buckets.
* All usage bills to your primary account.
