Documented steps

  1. Identify the IAM identity (user or service account) that will drive mc admin rebalance
  2. Add the admin:Rebalance action to its policy (custom policy or extend the admin role) in the MinIO console or via mc admin policy
  3. Verify the permission applies to the deployment the alias points at
  4. Confirm access: run a harmless read command such as mc admin rebalance status ALIAS
  5. Proceed to mc admin rebalance start/stop ALIAS only after the read confirms authorization
