http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/radosgw/adminops/

NOTICE: The library support Ceph version >= 10.2 (Jewel).

• Version 1.6: Support for Ceph Hammer or older have been dropped.
• Version 1.7: Functions get_buckets() and get_users() returns an iterator, not a list anymore.
• Version 1.7.1: Function get_uids() added.
• Version 1.7.2: Functions get_policy(bucket, object=None, ...) and delete_usage() added. Function set_quota(...) returns None.

The package is available on https://pypi.python.org/pypi/radosgw-admin. To install it use pip:

pip install radosgw-admin

Or clone this repository and install it locally:

python setup.py install

To create or modify a bucket/user in radosgw, the admin user require the following read,write capabilities (caps):

"caps": [
   { "type": "buckets",
     "perm": "*" },
   { "type": "usage",
     "perm": "read" },
   { "type": "metadata",
     "perm": "read" },
   { "type": "users",
     "perm": "*" }
]

You can use the radosgw-admin command to add capabilities to an existing user:

radosgw-admin caps add --uid <USER_ID> --caps "buckets=read,write"
radosgw-admin caps add --uid <USER_ID> --caps "users=read,write"

See the example in examples/radosgw-admin-example.py

Here is a simple example:

import radosgw

rgwadmin = radosgw.connection.RadosGWAdminConnection(host='hostname.example.org',
                                                     access_key='<ADMIN_ACCESS_KEY>',
                                                     secret_key='<ADMIN_SECRET_KEY>')
# user operations
testuser2 = rgwadmin.create_user('testuser2',
                                 display_name='A test user',
                                 email='[email protected]')

testuser2.update(display_name='Second test user', suspended=True)

testuser1 = rgwadmin.get_user('testuser1')

# bucket operations
buckets = rgwadmin.get_buckets()
for bucket in buckets:
    print(bucket)

testuser1_buckets = testuser1.get_buckets()
for bucket in testuser1_buckets:
    # transfer buckets to testuser2
    rgwadmin.link_bucket(bucket.name, bucket.id, testuser2.id)
