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 this document we will explain in detail on how to configure admin users.

### 1. Prerequisites

These functions can be declared with `async def` or normal `def`.

### `startup` event { #startup-event }

To add a function that should be run before the application starts, declare it with the event `"startup"`:

{* ../../docs_src/events/tutorial001_py39.py hl[8] *}

<font color="#A6E22E">INFO</font>:     Waiting for application startup.

  }

    delegate.start(port)
  }

    delegate.start(inetAddress, port)

### Run Automatically on Startup { #run-automatically-on-startup }

In general, you will probably want the server program (e.g. Uvicorn) to be started automatically on server startup, and without needing any **human intervention**, to have a process always running with your API (e.g. Uvicorn running your FastAPI app).

    CountDownLatch started = new CountDownLatch(1);
    FakeService service =
        new FakeService() {
          @Override
          protected void startUp() throws Exception {
            super.startUp();
            started.await();
          }
        };
    service.startAsync();
    service.stopAsync();
    started.countDown();
    service.awaitTerminated();
