Description: A RADOS Gateway user is an account that has access to the Ceph object storage system, known as RADOS (Reliable Autonomic Distributed Object Store). This type of user can perform various operations on stored objects, such as uploading, downloading, and managing data. RADOS Gateway provides an interface compatible with S3 and Swift, allowing users to interact with object storage using widely adopted APIs. RADOS Gateway users can be both individuals and applications, and their management is carried out through administrative tools that allow for the creation, modification, and deletion of accounts. Security is a crucial aspect, as each user can have specific permissions that determine their level of access to resources. This ensures that only authorized users can perform critical operations, thus protecting the integrity and confidentiality of stored data. Additionally, the use of users in RADOS Gateway facilitates the integration of object storage systems into cloud environments and distributed applications, where object storage is essential for scalability and efficiency in managing large volumes of data.
