# MinIO Admin Multi-user Quickstart Guide [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io)

MinIO supports multiple admin users in addition to default operator credential created during server startup. New admins can be added after server starts up, and server can be configured to deny or allow access to different admin operations for these users. This document explains how to add/remove admin users and modify their access rights.

## Get started

This README provides quickstart instructions on running MinIO on bare metal hardware, including container-based installations. For Kubernetes environments, use the [MinIO Kubernetes Operator](https://github.com/minio/operator/blob/master/README.md).

## Container Installation

Use the following commands to run a standalone MinIO server as a container.

Install MinIO on Kubernetes:

- [MinIO Quickstart Guide for Kubernetes](https://min.io/docs/minio/kubernetes/upstream/index.html#quickstart-for-kubernetes).
- [Deploy a Tenant from the MinIO Operator](https://min.io/docs/minio/kubernetes/upstream/operations/install-deploy-manage/deploy-minio-tenant.html)

Install Distributed MinIO on Linux:

referencing this chart. <br/><br/> MinIO publishes a separate [MinIO Kubernetes Operator and Tenant Helm Chart](https://github.com/minio/operator/tree/master/helm) that is officially maintained and supported. MinIO strongly recommends using the MinIO Kubernetes Operator for production deployments. See [Deploy Operator With Helm](https://min.io/docs/minio/kubernetes/upstream/operations/install-deploy-manage/deploy-operator-helm.html?ref=github) for additional documentation. |

## Introduction...

## 6. Implementation Status

- Full AWS S3 [SELECT SQL](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/s3-glacier-select-sql-reference-select.html) syntax is supported.
- All [operators](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/s3-glacier-select-sql-reference-operators.html) are supported.
- All aggregation, conditional, type-conversion and string functions are supported.
- JSON path expressions such as `FROM S3Object[*].path` are not yet evaluated.

## MinIO Deployment on Kubernetes

There are multiple options to deploy MinIO on Kubernetes:

- MinIO-Operator: Operator offers seamless way to create and update highly available distributed MinIO clusters. Refer [MinIO Operator documentation](https://github.com/minio/minio-operator/blob/master/README.md) for more details.

  quay.io/minio/minio server /data --console-address ":9001"
```

## Run Distributed MinIO on Containers

We recommend kubernetes based deployment for production level deployment <https://github.com/minio/operator>.

See the [Kubernetes documentation](https://min.io/docs/minio/kubernetes/upstream/index.html) for more information.
