Permissions

You can use IAM for fine-grained permissions management of your CodeArts PerfTest. If your Huawei Cloud account does not need individual IAM users, you may skip this section.

New IAM users do not have any permissions assigned by default. You need to first add them to one or more groups and then attach policies or roles to these groups. The users then inherit permissions from the groups and can perform specified operations on cloud services based on the permissions they have been assigned.

You can grant users permissions by using roles and policies.
  • Roles: A type of coarse-grained authorization mechanism that defines permissions related to user responsibilities.
  • Policies: A type of fine-grained authorization mechanism that defines permissions required to perform operations on specific cloud resources under certain conditions, meeting requirements for secure access control. Policy-based authorization is useful if you want to allow or deny the access to an API.

Each 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 users who have been granted permissions allowing the actions can call the API successfully.
