Table of Contents

...

The breadcrumb navigation at top shows the location in the hierarchy (which is how access to content is segregated and controlled). The hierarchy is based on one-to-many relationships:

...

  1. ClustersClusters (Swarm icon) can contain multiple tenants.

  2. Tenantscan each contain multiple storage domains.

  3. Domains can each contain multiple buckets.

  4. Bucketshold named objects, which are files uploaded to Swarm by various clients and applications. 

Info

Important

What is visible in the Content UI is controlled and protected by access permissions. A Domain admin is not able to see anything (domains, tenants, clusters) outside of the domain they are authorized to manage. 

The DataCore icon link attempts to take users to the top-most level (domain, tenant, or root) allowed for them by applied permissions. It takes them to the storage domain they logged in to (the URL in the address bar); the user must go navigate to the root level, even if the permissions do not allow them to list if the hostname is not a storage domain.

...

Cluster

Browse to the cluster's Content UI and use the login name and password created for the Root administrator to log in as a cluster administrator:

Code Block
languagexml
http://GATEWAY·IP:SCSP·BINDPORT/_admin/portal
http://GATEWAY·IP:80/_admin/portal (default)

The SCSP·BINDPORT refer to bindPort settings in the Gateway Configuration, in the [scsp] section.

Info

Tip

Navigate to the Content UI directly by clicking the top left Swarm logo to reach the sitemap if logged in to the Swarm UI:

 

The Content UI opens to the correct port, as defined in the Gateway Configuration when Content is clicked.

Tenant or Domain

To log in as a tenant or domain administrator, browse to a domain's Content UI and log in with the admin credentials:

Code Block
languagexml
http://STORAGE·DOMAIN:SCSP·BINDPORT/_admin/portal
http://STORAGE·DOMAIN:80/_admin/portal (default)

The Content UI opens to the domain’s page, from which the tenant's information can be accessed (if allowed) by clicking the breadcrumb menu.

Different Tenant or Domain

To log in to a different tenant or domain with the existing credentials, specify the tenant or domain after the user name:

  • Tenant – append a plus '+' sign and the tenant name:  username+rtenant

  • Domain – append an at '@' sign and the domain name:  username@domain.com
