Minio Multi-user Quickstart Guide 
Minio supports multiple long term users in addition to default user created during server startup. New users can be added after server starts up, and server can be configured to deny or allow access to buckets and resources to each of these users. This document explains how to add/remove users and modify their access rights.
Get started
In this document we will explain in detail on how to configure multiple users.

2. Create a new user with canned policy
Use mc admin policies to create canned policies. Server provides a default set of canned policies namely writeonly, readonly and readwrite (these policies apply to all resources on the server). These can be overridden by custom policies using mc admin policies command.
