Managing Users

When accessing the Impossible Cloud Storage Console as a root user, you can create sub-users to give other people access to the console.

The Users tab serves as the single-source-of-truth for all users registered in your organization. You can add, filter, and delete users (sub-users) as well as edit the assigned rights, including assigning group memberships and access keys.

The Users tab is only available for root users - and accordingly also conducting any of the above actions.

Creating a User

To add users, follow these instructions:

1. Navigate to the Users tab on the left-pane.

2. Click on the Add User button on the top-right of the console.

• Fill in the user's email and password to give them access to the console.

• Inform the recipient about the account details.

Refer to our relevant documentation on rules for setting a password.

Deleting a User

To delete users, follow these instructions:

1. Navigate to the Users tab on the left-pane.

2. Click on the delete icon next to the user.

3. Confirm the deletion.

Managing Users as a Root User

The root user has full administrative control, including the ability to manage access and permissions for all sub-users in the account. This includes assigning permissions, managing access keys, and updating user metadata such as tags.

Permissions for sub-users can be managed in two ways:

• Group-Based Policies: Sub-users assigned to one or more groups will automatically inherit the permissions defined by the policies attached to those groups.

• Inline Policies: Alternatively, policies can be assigned directly to individual users through inline policies. This allows for more granular permission control when group-based management is not sufficient.

Additionally, the root user can also create or delete access keys for any sub-user. This facilitates easier key rotation and credential management without requiring direct login access to the sub-user's account.

To manage a sub-user’s settings:

1. Navigate to the Users tab in the Console.

2. Click on the desired sub-user to open their management panel.

3. Use the available tabs — Groups, Tags, Access Keys, and Inline Policies — to manage each aspect of the sub-user's configuration.

These tools give the root user fine-grained control over user permissions and credentials, helping enforce security and compliance standards efficiently.
