Object Storage Access Controls API

Question

I have looked all through the SoftLayer API documentation, but I cannot find any reference to how one manages which portal users may access the Object Storage authentication endpoints to get the access token.

Answer 1

It seems to be similar to this question:

Softlayer Object Storage Auth Endpoint

Answer 2

if you wish an user have access to the object storage you have to grant the following permissions:

"Manage CDN Account", "Manage CDN File Transfer" and "Manage Storage"

Remove the permissions above in order to not let your user to access the object storage

see:

using API you can set the permissions using these methods:
