that case, you may want to add the ``--account-root`` option to make each user
the root user of their account.
+Account Root example
+--------------------
+
+The account root user's credentials unlock the `Ceph Object Gateway IAM API`_.
+
+This example uses `awscli`_ to create an IAM user for S3 operations.
+
+1. Create a profile for the account root user::
+
+ $ aws --profile rgwroot configure set endpoint_url http://localhost:8000
+ $ aws --profile rgwroot configure
+ AWS Access Key ID [None]: {root access key}
+ AWS Secret Access Key [None]: {root secret key}
+ Default region name [None]: default
+ Default output format [None]:
+
+2. Create an IAM user, add credentials, and attach a policy for S3 access::
+
+ $ aws --profile rgwroot iam create-user --user-name Alice
+ {
+ "User": {
+ "Path": "/",
+ "UserName": "Alice",
+ "UserId": "b580aa8e-14c7-4b6a-9dac-a30c640244b6",
+ "Arn": "arn:aws:iam::RGW63136524507535818:user/Alice",
+ "CreateDate": "2024-02-07T00:15:45.162786+00:00"
+ }
+ }
+ $ aws --profile rgwroot iam create-access-key --user-name Alice
+ {
+ "AccessKey": {
+ "UserName": "Alice",
+ "AccessKeyId": "JBNLYD5BDNRVV64J02E8",
+ "Status": "Active",
+ "SecretAccessKey": "SnHoE700kdNuT22K8Bhy2iL3DwZU0sUSDI1gUXHr",
+ "CreateDate": "2024-02-07T00:16:34.679316+00:00"
+ }
+ }
+ $ aws --profile rgwroot iam attach-user-policy --user-name Alice \
+ --policy-arn arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonS3FullAccess
+
+3. Create a profile for the S3 user::
+
+ $ aws --profile rgws3 configure set endpoint_url http://localhost:8000
+ $ aws --profile rgws3 configure
+ AWS Access Key ID [None]: JBNLYD5BDNRVV64J02E8
+ AWS Secret Access Key [None]: SnHoE700kdNuT22K8Bhy2iL3DwZU0sUSDI1gUXHr
+ Default region name [None]: default
+ Default output format [None]:
+
+4. Use the S3 user profile to create a bucket::
+
+ $ aws --profile rgws3 s3 mb s3://testbucket
+ make_bucket: testbucket
