Please refer to API Access — Object Storage for more information on how to set up your S3-compatible client.

Understanding SysEleven Object Storage Users

SysEleven Object Storage Users are distinct from IAM users and play a crucial role in accessing the SysEleven Object Storage service. To understand how they fit into the overall hierarchy, consider the following structure:

Hierarchy Overview

  • IAM Project: The top-level entity that contains multiple resources, including SysEleven Object Storage Users.
  • SysEleven Object Storage User: A unique identity for accessing Object Storage, associated with a specific IAM project. Each user can own multiple buckets.
  • Bucket: A container for objects, owned by a single SysEleven Object Storage User. For more information on buckets, refer to our Buckets documentation.
  • Credentials: Each SysEleven Object Storage User can have multiple sets of access and secret keys for authentication. Each credential acts as the user, allowing for flexible access management.

Managing Access and Bucket Policies

By managing multiple Object Storage Users within a project, you can effectively separate access between buckets. Bucket policies become relevant when you want to grant access between Object Storage Users. This allows for fine-grained control over access to buckets and objects within the SysEleven Object Storage service.

Key Concepts

  • SysEleven Object Storage User: A unique identity for accessing Object Storage, associated with a specific IAM project.
  • Credentials: Each SysEleven Object Storage User can have multiple sets of access and secret keys for authentication.
  • Regions: SysEleven offers two regions for Object Storage:
    • HAM1 (Hamburg): https://objectstorage-replicated.ham1.cloud.syseleven.net
    • DUS2 (Düsseldorf): https://objectstorage-replicated.dus2.cloud.syseleven.net

Security & Multi-tenancy

It is essential to keep your SysEleven Object Storage credentials secure and never share them publicly. By using different SysEleven Object Storage Users, you can effectively separate buckets, either within an IAM project or across multiple projects, ensuring a high level of security and multi-tenancy.
