Sub-user dashboard

Sub-users can now sign in to their own dashboard.

Released September 2026.

Sub-users created with Programmatic + Dashboard access now get their own dashboard in the Zata console. It shows only the buckets, regions and permissions that the account owner gave them. They sign in on the same sign-in page as the owner, with the password they set when they accepted their invitation.

What sub-users can do

Menu itemWhat a sub-user can do there
DashboardSee storage used, object count, their buckets and regions, and region health.
BucketsBrowse the buckets shared with them, with search, a region filter and sorting.
Preview ManagerPreview images, videos, PDFs and Office documents in the browser.
Access KeysSee their own access key and rotate it. The account owner gets a notification when they do.
Bucket PoliciesSee the access rules they were given, and ask for more with Request Policy.
Account SettingsChange their name and password, and turn on two-step sign-in.

Asking for more access

In Bucket Policies, a sub-user selects Request Policy to ask for more actions on a bucket. The account owner approves or rejects the request in their own console. The sub-user sees the result on the Requested and Rejected tabs.

What stays with the account owner

Sub-users can’t create buckets, create or delete access keys, see billing, or invite and manage other sub-users. Anything a sub-user is missing, such as a bucket, a region or a permission, the account owner grants in the console.

Sub-users with Programmatic access only don’t change: they have no dashboard and keep using their access keys with S3 tools.
