Creating a User and Granting Permissions

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

If your account does not need individual IAM users, then you may skip over this section.

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

Prerequisites

Learn about the permissions supported by AOM and choose policies or roles according to your requirements. See section "Permissions Management" in AOM Service Overview. For the permissions of other services, see section "Permission Description" in the help center.
