# 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

- In ambient mode, the CNI plugin does not configure any networking, but is only responsible for synchronously pushing new pod events back up to an ambient watch server which runs as part of the Istio CNI node agent. The ambient server will find the pod netns and configure networking inside that pod via iptables. The ambient server will additionally watch enabled namespaces, and enroll already-started-but-newly-enrolled pods in a similar fashion.

MinIO server allows to throttle incoming requests:

- limit the number of active requests allowed across the cluster
- limit the wait duration for each request in the queue

Certificates are no secrets and sent in plaintext as part of the TLS handshake.

A subroute on a client must match a subroute on the server. So routes cannot be used for dynamic routing, unlike HTTP.

Handlers should remain backwards compatible. If a breaking API change is required, a new handler ID should be created.

## Setup & Configuration

A **Manager** is used to manage all incoming and outgoing connections to a server.

On startup all remote servers must be specified. 

```sh
export MINIO_ROOT_USER=minio
export MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=minio13
minio server /data
```

#### Site

```
KEY:
site  label the server and its location

ARGS:
name     (string)    name for the site e.g. "cal-rack0"
region   (string)    name of the location of the server e.g. "us-west-1"
comment  (sentence)  optionally add a comment to this setting
```

or environment variables

> NOTE: Server side replication is supported for idempotent versions on directory objects.

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

#### Windows (custom access and secret keys)

```powershell
docker run \
  -p 9000:9000 \
  -p 9001:9001 \
  --name minio1 \
  -e "MINIO_ROOT_USER=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE" \
  -e "MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY" \
  -v D:\data:/data \
  quay.io/minio/minio server /data --console-address ":9001"
```

- *MINIO_NTP_SERVER* environment variable can be set to remote NTP server endpoint if system time is not desired for setting retention dates.

the MinIO server's config sub-directory that is used to store certificates. By default, the location is
`/<user-running-minio>/.minio/certs`.

*Tip*: In a standard Kubernetes configuration, this will be `/root/.minio/certs`. Kubernetes will mount the secrets volume read-only,
