About this Guide

This guide describes the administration of a single tenant on a VAST cluster. It describes the tenant administration features that can be accessed at the tenant-specific VAST Web UI by cluster managers with type Tenant Admin.

A tenant admin user is a manager user that may be provisioned by a cluster admin user or another tenant admin user.

Depending on RBAC permissions, a tenant admin user may be able to perform these activities on a specific tenant of a VAST Cluster:

  • Create and manage client users and groups for the tenant.

  • Create and manage tenant identity policies and S3 keys, and associate them with tenant client users and groups.

  • Create additional tenant admin users for the tenant.

  • Create and manage buckets. Tenant administrators can create S3 buckets and view buckets created on the tenant by client users.

  • Create and manage views that share buckets, and regulate access with view policies, quotas, and lifecycle rules.

  • Create and manage VAST Databases.

  • Enable and manage VAST DataEngine and VAST DataEngine application users.

  • Configure data protection and global access features on paths in the tenant's namespace.

  • View analytics information for the tenant, including data flows, metrics, and capacity statistics.

For information about administrating VAST Cluster as a cluster admin user, including managing multiple tenants, see the VAST Cluster 5.5 Administrator's Guide.
