Creating a User and Granting CS Permissions

This section describes how to use Identity and Access Management (IAM) to implement fine-grained permissions control for your CS resources. With IAM, you can:

  • Create IAM users for employees based on the organizational structure of your enterprise. Each IAM user has their own security credentials, providing access to CS resources.
  • Grant only the permissions required for users to perform a specific task.
  • Entrust a HUAWEI CLOUD account or cloud service to perform efficient O&M on your CS resources.

If your HUAWEI CLOUD account does not require individual IAM users, skip this chapter.

Prerequisites

  • CS ReadOnlyAccess is a policy.
  • Learn about the permissions (see Permissions Management.) supported by CS and choose policies or roles according to your requirements.

Process Flow

This section describes how to use a group to grant permissions to a user. Figure 1 shows the process for granting permissions.

Figure 1 Process for granting CS permissions

  1. Create a user group and assign permissions to it.

    Create a user group on the IAM console, and attach the CS ReadOnlyAccess policy to the group.

  2. Create an IAM user.

    Create a user on the IAM console and add the user to the group created in 1.

  3. Log in and verify permissions.

    Log in to the console by using the user created, and verify that the user has the granted permissions.

    • Choose Service List > Cloud Stream Service. Then click Create Cluster on the CS console. If a message appears indicating that you have insufficient permissions to perform the operation, the CS ReadOnlyAccess policy has already taken effect.
    • Choose any other service in Service List. If a message appears indicating that you have insufficient permissions to access the service, the CS ReadOnlyAccess permission has already taken effect.
