Sharing Your Resources

Scenario

RAM helps you securely share resources across accounts. If you have multiple accounts, you can create resources once in one account and use RAM to share those resources with the other accounts.

This section uses sharing FunctionGraph functions as an example to describe how to share resources with other accounts.

Prerequisites

1. If you already have a HUAWEI ID, skip this step. If you do not have a HUAWEI ID:
   1. Visit the Huawei Cloud official website and click Sign Up in the upper right corner.
   2. Sign up for a HUAWEI ID and enable Huawei Cloud services.

      After your HUAWEI ID is created, you will be redirected to your personal information page.

   3. Complete real-name authentication by following the instructions in Individual Real-Name Authentication or Enterprise Real-Name Authentication.
2. Top up your account.

   RAM is a free service. You will not be billed for using RAM-related functions. You only need to pay for the shared resources. For pricing details for each payable cloud service, see Price Calculator.

   Ensure that your account balance is sufficient to ensure successful resource sharing. For details about account top-up, see Topping Up an Account

Related Information

If you use Huawei Cloud Organizations to manage your accounts, you can enable sharing with Organizations to share resources more easily. If your account is in an organization, you can share resources either with individual accounts or with all accounts in an organization unit (OU) or in the entire organization without having to enumerate each account.

To share resources within your organization, you first need to use the RAM console to enable Sharing with Organizations. Only the organization administrator can enable or disable Sharing with Organizations. For details, see Enabling Sharing with Organizations.
