 This is a more detailed guide [[organisationcloud/usermanagement#_adding_new_users_web_|to the default]] overview of user space when setting up users. This tutorial also outlines a setup in which Administrators can also have access to user private file resources which is not the case for the default setup.

+===== 1 Adding a storage provider to the File Fabric  =====
+How to setup the various Storage Providers are documented elsewhere on our Wiki but it is fairly simple, when logged in as Administrator navigate to the DashBoard, choose to 'Add a new storage provider' and follow the wizard. For the purposes of this example refer to the documentation for the [[cloudproviders/amazons3]].

+Note that if you are using the hosted version of the File Fabric you may wish to use the newly added Amazon S3 storage provider as the nominated 'default' storage for the File Fabric rather than the SME provided storage (which is added on sign up). \\
-How to setup Cloud Providers is documented on our Wiki. Please see: [[cloudproviders/amazons3]]
+Simply navigate to the Dashboard, after login to the web as Administrator, and choose to set the S3 Cloud as the Primary Storage Cloud by clicking the tick icon to the left of the settings cog symbol. Once this is done you will see a 'def' next to the Amazon S3 cloud that shows it is now the nominated default storage cloud.

 ===== 4 Default User Storage Space =====
-{{:/organisationcloud:resourceallocation:steps:sme_4_default_user_storage.png}}
 By default each user's files are stored on the default provider. If this is an external provider then each users files are stored in what is set to be the default folder or bucket for that provider.
