Assigning Agency Permissions (by a Delegated Party)
Company B is a professional O&M company. It becomes a delegated party after being authorized by company A. Company B assigns permissions to one or more of its IAM users to manage company A's resources.
Requirements
- Company B wants to authorize its employees (IAM users) to manage the delegated resources of company A.
- If company A creates multiple agencies for company B, company B can allocate the agencies to different employees. This will allow employees to only manage specific agencies.
Solution
- Account B creates users on the IAM console, and grants the permissions (including Agent Operator) required for managing delegated resources to the users.
- Account B creates a custom policy and grants permissions defined in this policy only to one agency. In this way, users with this policy attached only have permissions to manage that agency.
Procedure
Account B performs the following procedure to authorize IAM users to manage resources of specific agencies. After authorization, the IAM users of account B can switch their roles to account A to manage account A's resources. To do this, account B needs to have obtained the account (HUAWEI ID), agency name, and agency ID of the delegating party.
- Create a user group and grant permissions to it.
- In the navigation pane, choose User Groups.
- On the User Groups page, click Create User Group.
- Enter the user group name, for example, Agency Management.
- Click OK.
The user group is displayed in the user group list.
- In the row containing the target user group, click Authorize.
NOTE:
- To authorize a user to manage only the resources of a specific agency, perform the following steps.
- To authorize a user to manage the resources of all agencies, go to the next step.
- On the Select Policy/Role page, click Create Policy in the upper right.
- Enter a policy name, for example, Agency 1 for Managing Company A.
- Select JSON for Policy View.
- In the Policy Content area, enter the following content:
{ "Version": "1.1", "Statement": [ { "Action": [ "iam:agencies:assume" ], "Resource": { "uri": [ "/iam/agencies/b36b1258b5dc41a4aa8255508xxx..." ] }, "Effect": "Allow" } ] }
NOTE:
Replace b36b1258b5dc41a4aa8255508xxx... with the agency ID obtained from a delegating party. Do not make any other changes.
- Click Next.
- Select the Agency 1 for Managing Company A agency created in the previous step or the Agent Operator role.
NOTE:
- The custom policy allows the user only to manage resources of a specific agency ID.
- The Agent Operator role allows the user to manage the resources of all agencies.
- Specify the authorization scope.
- Click OK.
- Create a user and add the user to the user group.
- In the navigation pane, choose Users.
- On the Users page, click Create User.
- On the Create User page, enter a username and email address.
- For Access Type, select Management console access.
- For Credential Type, select Set by user.
- Enable login protection, select a verification mode, and click Next.
- Select the user group Agency Management created in 2 and click Create.
- Switch the role.
- Log in to Huawei Cloud as the user created in 2. For more information, see Logging In as an IAM User.
- Click the username in the upper right corner, and choose Switch Role.
Figure 1 Switching roles
- Enter the account name of the delegating party. The agency created by the delegating party is displayed automatically.
NOTE:
If an agency other than the agencies created by the delegating party is displayed, a message is displayed indicating that you do not have access permissions. Select the correct agency in the Agency Name drop-down list box.
- Click OK to switch to the delegating account.
