Reset an
AWS
 User Account

To remove the association between an
AWS
 account and a
VMware Cloud Director
 organization, you can reset the
AWS
 account.
Verify that
VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension
 is inactive for the
VMware Cloud Director
 organization to which the user account belongs.
If the
AWS
 account is shared between
VMware Cloud Director
 organizations, you cannot clean up buckets and objects from
AWS S3
.
If the
AWS
 account is associated with a single
VMware Cloud Director
 organization, you can optionally clean up all buckets and objects that the account owns from
AWS S3
. If you choose not to clean up the buckets and objects that the account owns, the resources remain stored in
AWS S3
.
  1. Log in to the
    VMware Cloud Director cloud provider admin portal
    .
  2. In the primary left navigation panel, under
    More
    , select
    Object Storage
    .
  3. On the
    Tenants
     tab, click the name of the tenant organization to which the
    AWS
     account belongs.
  4. In the storage platform card, click
    Reset Tenant
    .
  5. To remove all buckets and objects from
    AWS S3
    , select Clean up all buckets.
    Cleaning up buckets and objects from
    AWS S3
     is time consuming. You can close the dialog box and come back to the
    Tenants
     tab to review the progress.
    If the cleanup operation fails, resetting the
    AWS
     account also fails.
While the operation runs, the status is
Purging
. Once the operation completes successfully, the status changes to
Deactivated
. If resetting the account fails, the status changes to
Abnormal
 and an error message indicates what the issue might be.
If this account is reused or invited, the account is released from the organization unit and is moved to the root organization pool.
If the account is invited, the account is removed from the root organization pool.
If the account is reused or invited, you can reuse this account again and provide access to
VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension
 to another
VMware Cloud Director
 organization user. See Reuse an AWS User Account.
If the account is invited, you cannot reuse it. To provide access to
VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension
 to the same
AWS
 account, invite the account again. See Invite an AWS User Account.
