### 2. Create a new user with canned policy

Use [`mc admin policy`](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/reference/minio-mc-admin/mc-admin-policy.html) to create canned policies. Server provides a default set of canned policies namely `writeonly`, `readonly` and `readwrite` *(these policies apply to all resources on the server)*. These can be overridden by custom policies using `mc admin policy` command.

```
 mc admin tier add azure source AZURETIER --endpoint https://blob.core.windows.net --access-key AZURE_ACCOUNT_NAME --secret-key AZURE_ACCOUNT_KEY  --bucket azurebucket --prefix testprefix1/
```

> The admin user running this command needs the "admin:SetTier" and "admin:ListTier" permissions if not running as root.

 ```

Only the root/admin user can perform an SSE-S3 key rotation using the Admin-API via [mc](https://github.com/minio/mc). For more details about how to perform key management operations using the CLI refer to [mc admin guide](https://github.com/minio/mc/blob/master/docs/minio-admin-complete-guide.md) or run `mc admin kms key`.

#### Secure Erasure and Locking

All configuration changes can be made using [`mc admin config` get/set/reset/export/import commands](https://github.com/minio/mc/blob/master/docs/minio-admin-complete-guide.md).

#### List all config keys available

```
~ mc admin config set myminio/
```

#### Obtain help for each key

```
~ mc admin config set myminio/ <key>
```

e.g: `mc admin config set myminio/ etcd` returns available `etcd` config args

export MINIO_API_REQUESTS_MAX=1600
export MINIO_ROOT_USER=your-access-key
export MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=your-secret-key
minio server http://server{1...8}/mnt/hdd{1...16}
```

or

```sh
mc admin config set myminio/ api requests_max=1600
mc admin service restart myminio/
```

> NOTE: A zero value of `requests_max` means MinIO will automatically calculate requests based on available RAM size and that is the default behavior.

### Set a hard quota of 1GB for a bucket `mybucket` on MinIO object storage

```sh
mc admin bucket quota myminio/mybucket --hard 1gb
```

### Verify the quota configured on `mybucket` on MinIO

```sh
mc admin bucket quota myminio/mybucket
```

### Clear bucket quota configuration for `mybucket` on MinIO

```sh
mc admin bucket quota myminio/mybucket --clear

authenticate prometheus scrape requests, override the default Prometheus config with the one generated using mc. To generate a Prometheus config for an alias, use [mc](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/reference/minio-mc.html#quickstart) as follows `mc admin prometheus generate <alias> [METRIC-TYPE]`. The valid values for METRIC-TYPE are `cluster`, `node`, `bucket` and `resource` and if not mentioned, it defaults to `cluster`.

The command will generate the `scrape_configs` section of the prometheus.yml...

export MC_HOST_minio3=https://adminuser:******@****.***
```

- Add site replication configuration with:

```sh
mc admin replicate add minio1 minio2 minio3
```

- Once the above command returns success, you may query site replication configuration with:

```sh
mc admin replicate info minio1
```

** Note **

export MINIO_STORAGE_CLASS_RRS=EC:2
```

Storage class can also be set via `mc admin config` get/set commands to update the configuration. Refer [storage class](https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/docs/config#storage-class) for
more details.

#### Note

- If `STANDARD` storage class is set via environment variables or `mc admin config` get/set commands, and `x-amz-storage-class` is not present in request metadata, MinIO server will

  use basic "readwrite" canned policy to test all the operations before you finalize on what level
  of restrictions are needed for a user.

- No "admin:*" operations are needed for FTP/SFTP access to the bucket(s) and object(s), so you may
  skip them for restrictions.

## Usage

Start MinIO in a distributed setup, with 'ftp/sftp' enabled.
