Creating and managing an account

Access to the resources of the "Object Storage" service when using the VK Cloud Panel is carried out without hindrance, if you have a registered and active account and VK Cloud project.

However, if you need to access resources through tools such as AWS CLI, S3 API, as well as any other software, you must create an additional account in the service and use the account key for access. This mechanism allows you to delimit access for the most comfortable and safe work with the service.

Create an account

To create an account, go to the "Accounts" tab of the "Object Storage" service and click the "Add account" button. In the window that appears, enter the account name and confirm the entry.

When you create an account, you will be provided with data that you want to save. After closing the window, it will be impossible to restore the Secret Key, but if you lose it, you can create a new account.
