Hi,  
I have a s3 bucket created on ceph , when It wants to create repository it shows the following error.

```auto
{
  "error": {
    "root_cause": [
      {
        "type": "repository_verification_exception",
        "reason": "[backup_repository6] cannot delete test data at "
      }
    ],
    "type": "repository_verification_exception",
    "reason": "[backup_repository6] cannot delete test data at ",
    "caused_by": {
      "type": "i_o_exception",
      "reason": "Exception when deleting blob [tests-3YRmh_c0Q1aa3b70xVEwLg]",
      "caused_by": {
        "type": "amazon_s3_exception",
        "reason": "Forbidden (Service: Amazon S3; Status Code: 403; Error Code: 403 Forbidden; Request ID: null; S3 Extended Request ID: null)"
      }
    }
  },
  "status": 500
}

```

I know the user cannot delete file but I have set admin permission to the bucket user

```auto
