What Types of APIs Does ELB Provide? What Are Permissions of ELB?

ELB supports the following policies:

**Table 1** ELB policies
Policy Type	Policy Name	Description
RBAC policy	ELB Administrator	Has all permissions on ELB Before assigning the RBAC policy to a user group, check whether the user group has a dependent policy. If yes, set the dependent permission to make the RBAC policy take effect.
Fine-grained policy	ELB FullAccess	Has all permissions on ELB. If this function is not enabled, you cannot assign a fine-grained policy to a user group.
Fine-grained policy	ELB ReadOnlyAccess	Has the read-only permission on ELB.
