Creating a User and Granting EIP Permissions
Currently, the EIP service permissions are included in the VPC permissions. For details, see Permissions Management.
This section describes how to use IAM to implement fine-grained permissions control for your VPC resources. With IAM, you can:
- Create IAM users for employees based on your enterprise's organizational structure. Each IAM user will have their own security credentials for accessing VPC 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 VPC resources.
If your HUAWEI CLOUD account does not require individual IAM users, skip this section.
This section describes the procedure for granting permissions (see Figure 1).
Prerequisites
Learn about the permissions (see Permissions Management) supported by VPC and choose policies or roles according to your requirements. For the system permissions of other services, see System Permissions.
Process Flow
- Create a user group and grant permissions to it.
Create a user group on the IAM console, and assign the VPC ReadOnlyAccess policy to the group.
- Create an IAM user.
Create a user on the IAM console and add the user to the group created in 1.
- Log in and verify permissions.
Log in to the VPC console by using the user created in 2, and verify that the user only has read permissions for VPC.
- Choose Service List > Virtual Private Cloud. Then click Create VPC on the VPC console. If a message appears indicating that you have insufficient permissions to perform the operation, the VPC 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 VPC ReadOnlyAccess policy has already taken effect.
