Managing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Service User Keys (BUI)

This procedure describes how to use the BUI to create a user key, set operations permissions for a user key, or delete a user key for the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage service for the HTTP protocol.

   2. Click ADD.

   The Keys list displays the generated fingerprint for the new key.

   • A unique fingerprint is generated for each different key that is entered by the same user.

   • The same fingerprint is generated for a key that is entered by different users.

   Permissions control a user's ability to perform operations on resources. For more information, see Permissions Required for Each API Operation.
