Managing Users

After some time, you’ll likely need to manage the users who have access to your bucket. This guide will walk you through adding, editing, and deleting users within your bucket.

Accessing User Management

To manage the users in your bucket:

1. Navigate to the Buckets page from the main navigation
2. Click on the bucket whose users you want to manage

From here, you can add new users, edit existing ones, or remove user access entirely. You’ll also see a summary of each user’s bandwidth usage.

Adding a User

To add a new user to your bucket:

1. In your bucket’s user list view, click the “create a new one” button
2. Fill out the form with the new user’s details:
   • Username: A unique identifier for the user
   • Password: The password they’ll use to log in via SFTP
   • Home directory: Specify a directory to act as the user’s root (leave blank for full bucket access)
3. Click “Create user”

Your new user will now appear in the user list and have access to connect to the bucket via SFTP using the credentials you provided. Their bandwidth usage will begin to be tracked.

Editing a User

If you need to change a user’s details or access:

1. Click on the user in the bucket’s user list
2. In the user detail view, make changes to their username, password, or home directory
3. Click “Update user” to apply the changes

The updated details will take effect immediately. Make sure the user is aware if you change their login credentials!

Deleting a User

To revoke a user’s access to your bucket:

1. Click on the user in the bucket’s user list
2. In the user detail view, click the “Delete” button
3. Confirm the deletion when prompted

The user will be immediately removed and will no longer have access to connect to your bucket.

Note: Deleting a user is permanent. If you remove a user by mistake, you’ll need to recreate their account.
