Creating a User and Granting EG Permissions

This section describes how to use Identity and Access Management (IAM) to implement fine-grained permissions control for your EG 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 to access EG resources.
• Grant only the permissions required for users to perform a specific task.
• Entrust an account or cloud service to perform professional and efficient O&M on your EG resources.

If your account does not require individual IAM users, skip this section.

This section describes the procedure for granting permissions (see Figure 1).

Process Flow

Figure 1 Process for granting EG permissions

1. Create a user group and assign permissions.

   Create a user group on the IAM console, and assign it the read-only permissions for EG.

2. Create an IAM user and add them to the user group.

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

3. Log in and verify permissions.

   Log in to the EG console as the created user, and verify that the user only has read permissions for EG.
