Permissions Management

This chapter describes how to use IAM for fine-grained permissions control for your CTS 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 CTS resources.
Manage permissions on a principle of least permissions (PoLP) basis.
Entrust other accounts or cloud services to perform efficient O&M on your CTS resources.

If your account does not need IAM users, you can skip this section.

Prerequisites

Learn about the permissions (see section "Permissions Management" in the CTS Service Overview) supported by CTS and choose policies or roles according to your requirements.
