create dashboard admin user failed with permission denied

[usma0118]

I am trying to create dashboard user but not sure how to pass password file to it.

i have looked into #189 any guidance what''s $HOMEDIR pointing to in this case? PS! i have tried running it by placing file in my user homedir (not working)

Hello @usma0118 Thanks for sharing this issue with us. Can you please provide actionable information regarding this issue (logs/ microceph version info/ error prints etc) ?

$HOMEDIR is indeed the home directory of the user (/home/$user). Interestingly, if you wish to use any other location you can also configure other filesystems to be included under your homedirs using snapd.

sudo ceph dashboard ac-user-create usma -i password administrator --verbose

Hey @usma0118, I have reproduced this issue on quincy-edge, and am looking into it.

I'm facing the same issue on snap version 710.

@usma0118 @pclerie As a workaround while we fix this, please use the following steps to create dashboard users:

1. Copy the password file to /root/
2. Switch to su 
3. execute the same command from su with file path to root.

# ceph dashboard ac-user-create utkarsh -i ~/utkarshPass administrator
{"username": "utkarsh", "password": "$2b$12$pO0vmBOaRKYzYSv/Z17n7u9AKnK3v2StJCCay67OV7EUXIeDTmDwS", "roles": ["administrator"], "name": null, "email": null, "lastUpdate": 1702874812, "enabled": true, "pwdExpirationDate": null, "pwdUpdateRequired": false}

Works.
