Hello,
I have installed OpenStack Swift and able to create container and object using account "AUTH_admin" with password n groupname as "admin" which is setup in one of the configuration files.Now I want to use different account say "AUTH_test" to create container and objects.So how can I do that?
Thanks,

There're two kinds of authorizing in swift. One is tempauth, another is keystone.
I think you used tempauth, because you mentioned "which is setup in one of the configuration "
In tempauth, the account could not be modified in runtime. The only way to modify an account is change that configuration, which is proxy-server.conf.

There's a document to understanding of that. http://swiftstack.com/blog/2012/01/04/swift-tempauth/

Can you help with this problem?
