Hi,

The error message if you try and create an S3 user with an email address that is already associated with another S3 account is very confusing.

To reproduce:

radosgw-admin user create --uid=foo --display-name="Foo test" --<email address hidden>
#[ success ]
radosgw-admin user create --uid=test --display-name="AN test" --<email address hidden>
could not create user: unable to parse parameters, user id mismatch, operation id: foo does not match: test

I've reported this upstream as https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/49137 and will send a patch against master there in due course, but that won't get backported to Luminous.

I attach a patch that improves the error message thus:
radosgw-admin user create --uid=test --display-name="AN test" --<email address hidden>
could not create user: unable to create user test because user id foo already exists with email <email address hidden>

Could this be applied to the luminous Ceph packages you ship please?

Thanks,

Matthew
