OpenStack Object Storage (swift)

Problem with uploading files as User (works if Admin is uploading)

Asked by Rostik Slipetskyy

On swift when I try to upload a file as an admin, I succeed. However, when I do the same procedure as a user, I receive "ClientException: Object HEAD failed. 403 Forbidden" Any suggestions why this problem occurs?

Normal users only have access to containers admins give them explicit access to. You can grant access with x-container-read and x-container-write. See second to last paragraph of the first section at http://swift.openstack.org/overview_auth.html Using st as an account admin, you can do something like st post -r account:user -w account:user container to give read and write access to a container.
