How Do I Do If the Message "Insufficient permissions for the IAM account. Security Administrator permissions required." Is Displayed When I Enable an Agency?

Scenario

By default, IAM users do not have any permissions. If you use an IAM user for agency authorization, you must have the Security Administrator permissions.

Procedure

• Method 1: Contact the Huawei Cloud account for agency authorization. The agency authorization needs to be performed only once. Therefore, if the Huawei Cloud account has been authorized, the IAM user does not need to enable the agency.

• Method 2: Contact the Huawei Cloud account to add the Security Administrator permissions to the IAM user. Then, the IAM user can enable the agency.

1. Access the IAM page, as shown in Figure 1.

2. Go to the user group page, select a user group to which the user belongs, and click Authorize, as shown in Figure 2.
