Permissions Policies and Supported Actions

This chapter describes fine-grained permissions management for your CCE. If your HUAWEI CLOUD account does not need individual IAM users, you can skip over this chapter.

By default, new IAM users do not have permissions assigned. You need to add a user to one or more groups, and attach permissions policies or roles to these groups. Users inherit permissions from the groups to which they are added and can perform specified operations on cloud services based on the permissions. For more information about policy syntax and example policies, see Permissions Management.

Permissions are classified into roles and policies based on the authorization granularity. Roles are a type of service-based, coarse-grained authorization mechanism that defines permissions related to user responsibilities. Policies define API-based permissions for operations on specific resources under certain conditions, allowing for more fine-grained, secure access control of cloud resources.

If you want to allow or deny the access to an API, fine-grained authorization is a good choice.

An account has all the permissions required to call all APIs, but IAM users must be assigned the permissions to call the required APIs. The permissions required for calling an API are determined by the actions supported by the API. Only users who have been granted permissions can call the API successfully. For example, if an IAM user wants to query ECSs using an API, the user must have been granted permissions that allow the ecs:servers:list action.

Supported Actions

There are two kinds of policies: system-defined policies and custom policies. If the permissions preset in the system do not meet your requirements, you can create custom policies and apply these policies to user groups for refined access control. Operations supported by policies are specific to APIs. The following are common concepts related to policies:

  • Permission: a statement in a policy that allows or denies certain operations.
  • APIs: REST APIs that can be called in a custom policy.
  • Actions: added to a custom policy to control permissions for specific operations.
  • Dependent actions: actions on which a specific action depends to take effect. When assigning permissions for the action to a user, you also need to assign permissions for the dependent actions.
  • IAM projects and enterprise projects: type of projects for which an action will take effect. Policies that contain actions supporting both IAM and enterprise projects can be assigned to user groups and take effect in both IAM and Enterprise Management. Policies that only contain actions supporting IAM projects can be assigned to user groups and only take effect for IAM. Such policies will not take effect if they are assigned to user groups in Enterprise Management. For details about the differences between IAM and enterprise projects, see What Are the Differences Between IAM and Enterprise Management?.

The check mark (√) and cross symbol (x) respectively indicate that an action takes effect or does not take effect for the corresponding type of projects.

CCE supports the following actions that can be defined in custom policies:
