  1. In the Bucket Name field, enter a unique DNS-compliant name for the new bucket.

Create User

Once a Wasabi account is created, the default user is always Root User. It is recommended to keep the Root User account for service management tasks. The best practice is to create a new IAM role for each user, including users granted with administrative privileges.

To Create User

To create a user, proceed as follows:

  1. Open Wasabi Management Console.
  2. In the left menu, select Users.

  1. Click Create User.

  1. Specify user name and access.

The following access options are available:

  • Programmatic (required for Managed Backup)
  • Console

Once the Programmatic check box is selected, a user receives an access key and secret keys, which are used to access two resources: IAM and Storage via third-party means (AWS CLI, CloudBerry, Cyberduck or any other S3 application).

Once the Console check box is selected, you must specify a password that a user will use to sign in to Wasabi. As an option, you can select Require Password Reset check box which indicates a user must reset a password and change it to a custom one. In this case, a user will be prompted for a new password upon the first Wasabi sign-in.

  1. Click Next.
  2. Click Next to go to the next step.
  3. Assign policies for the new user. To select a policy to be assigned, click +.

Recommended settings:

  • WasabiReadOnlyAccess
  • WasabiWriteOnlyAccess or
  • WasabiFullAccess

For minimal user policy refer to the following article.

  1. Click Next.
  2. Review settings that have been specified on previous steps, then click Create User.

  1. Once the user is created, access and secret keys are generated. Export them to a CSV file or copy to clipboard, then click Close.
