Storage Service Credentials
Overview Arcus users can generate tokens (credentials) in order to securely access storage services directly from a host in an active Deployment Run using third party clients. These credentials are unique to users, reflect their roles and permissions, and last for a period of time determined by the cloud storage provider. This approach provides enhanced security with a full audit trail and reduces the management overhead and credential sprawl that often occurs in cloud providers.

Customer FAQs
Question: When a user is sent a link to upload a file to Arcus to his/her email, how long is the link valid? If there is no limit on this, can there be? Example: User A uploads a file. User A then leaves his/her current role and should no longer be able to upload a file. Since this was a link and the user need not be registered in Arcus could he/she keep uploading files indefinitely?
