For the complete DuraCloud documentation site, please see https://wiki.duraspacelyrasis.org/display/DURACLOUD/DuraCloud. Note that TDL's functionality differs in some areas.

   4. Choose primary storage provider, also others if needed. (note that only Primary allows creation of spaces)
   5. Create AWS account for each storage provider (requires credit card and DevOps lead support)

*Only ROOT users can assign Owner and Root status and edit some parts of the MC. Administrators can set user accounts to either user or administrator.  In general, user roles (owner/admin/user/root) not well defined by DuraSpace community, but here is some information provided on the DuraSpace wiki in their guide:

• Administrators can create and delete spaces, create groups of users, and implement access controls at the space level
• Users can view and manage content in DuraCloud. The web interface offers access to all storage system capabilities, including space and content creation, updates, and deletion. It provides access to graphical depictions of the information contained in the storage reports and allows for bulk deletion of spaces and content items and for user account administration. The interface also allows an authorized user to initiate a snapshot to send to Chronopolis for storage.
