Console Guide

The web console runs on port 8081 (or behind your reverse proxy) and is part of the same binary as the S3 API. Everything you can do with the S3 and IAM APIs, and the administration that only exists in MaxIOFS, can be done here.

Who sees what

The menu adapts to who signs in:

Page Global admin Tenant admin User
Dashboard, Buckets
Users, Access Keys (own tenant) (own account)
Groups, Tenants, Identity Providers (own tenant)
Audit Logs (own tenant)
IAM
Metrics, Security, Cluster, Settings
  • A global administrator has the admin role and no tenant. They manage the whole installation.
  • A tenant administrator has the admin role inside a tenant. They manage that tenant's users, groups and buckets, and cannot leave it.
  • A user sees the buckets their permissions reach and their own profile.

What a user can do inside a bucket is decided by IAM policies: see IAM.
