Create Rackspace Cloudfiles user via API

Question

I can't find any reference anywhere on how to create a user via API for Rackspace Cloudfiles. I take it it is not possible? Is there any equivalent function to Amazon AIM API?

Answer 1

It's possible.

You would need to use the Rackspace Identity Service API . In particular, have a look at the Users resource API . If you want to restrict those users to a product like Cloud Files you'll need to use the Roles resource API .

It will also be helpful to read up on the Rackspace Role Based Access Control . You'll need to know the Permissions Matrix for RBAC if you're assigning roles to your users.
