Managing Delegated Resources

When an account establishes a trust relationship with your account, you become a delegated party. The IAM users granted agency permissions can switch to the delegating account and manage resources under the account based on the granted permissions.

Prerequisites

  • A trust relationship has been established between another account and your account.
  • You have obtained the name of the delegating account and the agency name.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Huawei Cloud console using your account, or log in as the IAM user created in "Assigning Permissions to an IAM User (by a Delegated Party)".

    The IAM user created in "Assigning Permissions to an IAM User (by a Delegated Party)" has permission to manage agencies and switch roles.

  2. Move the cursor to the username in the upper right corner and choose Switch Role.
