Permissions Policies and Supported Actions

This chapter describes fine-grained permissions management for your APIG.

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

By default, new IAM users do not have permissions assigned. You need to add a user to one or more groups, and attach permissions policies or roles (in JSON format) to these groups. Users inherit permissions from the groups to which they are added and can perform specified operations on cloud services based on the permissions.

An account has all the permissions required to call all APIs, but IAM users must be assigned the required permissions. The permissions required for calling an API are determined by the actions supported by the API. Only IAM users who have been granted permissions allowing the actions can call the API successfully. For example, if an IAM user wants to create APIs using an API, the user must have been granted permissions that allow the apig:apis:create action.

Supported Actions

Operations supported by policies are specific to APIs. The following are common concepts related to policies:

  • Permission: A statement in a policy that allows or denies certain operations.
  • Action: Specific operations that are allowed or denied.
  • API: REST APIs that can be called by a user who has been granted specific permissions.
  • Authorization scope: Type of projects in which policies can be used to grant permissions. A policy can be applied to IAM projects, enterprise projects, or both. Policies that contain actions for both IAM and enterprise projects can be used and take effect for both IAM and Enterprise Management. Policies that only contain actions for IAM projects can be used and only take effect for IAM.

APIG supports actions that can be defined in custom policies. Permissions must be obtained before calling APIs provided by APIG.
