Except for the part where you get the packages from,
the guide is correct.

Each account can have as many users you'd want.

If you'd like 10 accounts, you'll need 10 volumes.
If you have 10 volumes, you'd have 10 accounts.

For example (uploading an object):
curl -v -X PUT -T mytestfile
http://localhost:8080/v1/AUTH_myvolume/mycontainer/mytestfile

Here "myvolumename" is the name of the volume as well as the account.

So, let's assume a single "volume" with multiple users.
Would be possible to share this volume with multiple users and deny
access files by users ?
user1 should only see it's own files and so on.

If this is not possible, would be a mess: gluster volumes needs many
bricks (in my case, with replica 3, at least 3 bricks).
Having to create 1 volume for each account mens thousands of volumes
and then thousands*3 bricks
