 RGW honours S3 bucket policy on **Reef 18.2+ / Squid**; condition-key support is
 a subset of AWS, so validate exotic conditions against your cluster.
 
+### Placement targets
+
+`Bucket.spec.placementTarget` selects the RGW **placement target** that backs the
+bucket — i.e. which pools, and therefore which durability profile, store its
+data. The valid values are cluster configuration, not a fixed set baked into the
+operator. On this estate radosgw exposes two:
+
+- `default-placement` — 3× replicated (the cluster default).
+- `ec` — 4+1 erasure-coded (cheaper capacity, for bulk/archival data).
+
+Leaving `placementTarget` empty keeps the current behaviour: the owning user's
+`default_placement` (falling back to the zonegroup default). When set, the
+operator threads it into the S3 `CreateBucket` `LocationConstraint` as
+`<zonegroup>:<placementTarget>`; with `spec.zonegroup` empty (the default) that
+is `:<placementTarget>`, which selects the local/master zonegroup with the given
+placement — so you do not need to know the zonegroup's api-name to pick a target.
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: ceph.unkin.net/v1alpha1
+kind: Bucket
+metadata:
+  name: raw-archive
+spec:
+  ownerRef: logarchiver
+  placementTarget: ec   # 4+1 erasure-coded pool
+```
+
+Placement is **immutable**: RGW fixes it at bucket creation and cannot move an
+existing bucket between targets. The CRD rejects changing `placementTarget` (and
+`zonegroup`) on an existing `Bucket`, and if a bucket already lives on a
+different target than the spec requests (e.g. an adopted bucket, or a value
+sneaked in around the CRD guard) the controller sets an `Error` phase with a
+`PlacementImmutable` reason rather than ever deleting and recreating it. The
+placement RGW actually stores the bucket on is reported in
+`status.placementTarget` (and the `Placement` print column), so drift is visible.
+See `config/samples/06-bucket-ec.yaml`.
+
+### Adopting existing buckets and users
+
+The operator can take over buckets/users that already exist in radosgw and hand
+them back without deleting them. In short: matching CRDs manage the resource in
+place (no recreation, keys reused, `status.adopted: true`), the bucket policy is
+**merged** so an existing hand-written policy is preserved (`spec.managePolicy:
+false` opts out entirely), and `spec.retainOnDelete` on `ObjectStoreUser` /
+`Bucket` / `BucketAccess` orphans the RGW object instead of deleting it. See
+**[docs/adoption.md](docs/adoption.md)** and
+`config/samples/05-adoption.yaml`.
+
 The `Bucket` controller renders the policy as the **union of every ready
 `BucketAccess`** that targets it, so the result is convergent regardless of the
 order objects are created or deleted. It watches `BucketAccess` and

+# Adopting existing radosgw buckets and users
+
+The operator can **take over** buckets and users that already exist in radosgw:
+write CRDs that match them and it manages them in place instead of recreating
+them. It can also **hand them back** without deleting the underlying RGW objects.
+
+## What happens when you create a CRD for an existing resource
+
+| CRD | On adoption |
+|-----|-------------|
+| `ObjectStoreUser` | The user is **not** recreated and its **existing keys are reused** (never rotated). `status.adopted` becomes `true`. Attributes are only changed if the spec sets them (see below). |
+| `Bucket` | The bucket is **not** recreated. `status.adopted` becomes `true`. Versioning/tags/quota are only touched if the spec sets them. The policy is **merged**, not overwritten (see below). |
+| `BucketAccess` | Adds the grant's statement to the bucket policy and (for a dedicated user) reuses that user's keys. |
+
+`status.adopted` is also shown in `kubectl get osu` / `kubectl get bkt` under
+the **ADOPTED** column.
+
+### User attributes
+
+To avoid clobbering an adopted user, the operator only sends attributes you set:
+
+- `displayName` — left unchanged when empty.
+- `suspended` — left unchanged when unset (it is an optional `*bool`; set it
+  explicitly to `true`/`false` to manage it).
+- `email` — left unchanged when empty.
+- `maxBuckets` — **defaults to `1000`** and is always applied. If the existing
+  user has a different limit you want to keep, set `maxBuckets` to match (or to
+  the value you want).
+
+### Bucket policy is merged, not replaced
+
+The operator owns only the policy statements it writes — they carry a
+`cephrgwop…` statement id. On every reconcile it **preserves statements it does
+not own** and reconciles only its own. So adopting a bucket that already has a
+hand-written policy keeps that policy; your `BucketAccess` grants are added
+alongside it.
+
+- Reserve the `cephrgwop` prefix (and the legacy prefixes `full`, `custom`,
+  `raw`, `readonly*`, `readwrite*`) for the operator — do not name your own
+  statements with them, or they will be treated as operator-owned and replaced.
+- To have the operator **never touch** a bucket's policy, set
+  `spec.managePolicy: false`. `BucketAccess` grants then have no effect on that
+  bucket.
+
+## What happens when you delete the CRD
+
+By default, deleting a CRD deletes the underlying RGW resource. Opt out per
+resource to **orphan** it instead (the finalizer is dropped, the RGW object is
+left in place):
+
+| CRD | Default on delete | Keep the RGW object |
+|-----|-------------------|---------------------|
+| `ObjectStoreUser` | deletes the RGW user + keys | `spec.retainOnDelete: true` |
+| `Bucket` | deletes the (empty) bucket | `spec.retainOnDelete: true` (and never set `purgeOnDelete`) |
+| `BucketAccess` (dedicated user) | deletes the dedicated user | `spec.retainOnDelete: true` |
+| `BucketAccess` (`userRef`) | only drops the policy statement | n/a (never manages that user) |
+
+## Recommended adoption procedure
+
+1. Create an `ObjectStoreUser` for each owner, setting `retainOnDelete: true`
+   and `maxBuckets` to the value you want. Confirm `ADOPTED=true`.
+2. Create the `Bucket` (with `retainOnDelete: true`) referencing that owner.
+   With `managePolicy: true` (default) the existing policy is preserved.
+3. Optionally add `BucketAccess` objects to model existing grants; they merge
+   into the policy. If you would rather keep managing the policy by hand, set
+   `managePolicy: false` on the Bucket.
+4. To hand a resource back, delete its CRD — with `retainOnDelete: true` the RGW
+   bucket/user is left untouched.
