Chapter 3. Allowing user access to the Multicloud Object Gateway Console

Procedure

1. Enable access to the MCG console.

   Perform the following steps once on the cluster :

   1. Create a cluster-admins group.

      # oc adm groups new cluster-admins

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   2. Bind the group to the cluster-admin role.

      # oc adm policy add-cluster-role-to-group cluster-admin cluster-admins

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

2. Add or remove users from the cluster-admins group to control access to the MCG console.

   • To add a set of users to the cluster-admins group :

     # oc adm groups add-users cluster-admins <user-name> <user-name> <user-name>...

     Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

     where <user-name> is the name of the user to be added.

     Note

     If you are adding a set of users to the cluster-admins group, you do not need to bind the newly added users to the cluster-admin role to allow access to the OpenShift Data Foundation dashboard.

   • To remove a set of users from the cluster-admins group :

     # oc adm groups remove-users cluster-admins <user-name> <user-name> <user-name>...

     Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

     where <user-name> is the name of the user to be removed.
