Using their Grace login information in the form of username@hpc.uams.edu, a user may access the ECS management GUI via a web browser, where the user has limited rights to manage their personal Namespace (e.g. create or replace access keys, create/delete Buckets, set Bucket attributes, set up NFS or HDFS shares on buckets, etc.).  Please note that this GUI allows you to fetch your secret key for accessing S3, or to set your Swift password.

Departments, labs, or other entities may arrange to have shared Namespaces in the object store.  The department, lab, or other entity designates one or more persons to manage that Namespace.  These Namespace Administrators would access the ECS management GUI  using their UAMS credentials in the form of "username@uams.edu" (i.e. not their HPC credentials).  Note that each UAMS user can only be the Namespace Administrator of one shared Namespace (not counting the user's personal Namespace tied to their HPC account on Grace).  From the management GUI the Namespace Administrators can either add ACLs to Buckets or Objects to allow users to access data in the Namespace, or can create local Object Users within the Namespace.
