Why Have Permissions Granted to a User Not Been Applied?

Symptom

Permissions granted to an IAM user on the new IAM console have not been applied.

Troubleshooting

1. Cause: Permissions granted to the IAM user were incorrect.

   Solution: Check and modify the permissions granted to the IAM user. For details, see Assigning Permissions to an IAM User or Creating a User Group and Assigning Permissions. For details about permission details, see Identity Policy Authorization.

2. Cause: Actions were denied by the permissions granted to the IAM user.

   Solution: View the system-defined permissions granted to the IAM user and check whether there is any statement that denies the actions. For details, see Identity Policy Syntax.

3. Cause: The IAM user has not been added to the user group with permissions assigned.

   Solution: Add the user to the group that has been granted the permissions. For details, see Adding Users to or Removing Users from a User Group.

4. Cause: The granted permissions will be applied 15 to 30 minutes after the authorization.

   Solution: Check the permissions after 15 to 30 minutes and try again.

5. Cause: The service (such as OBS) provides separate permissions control.

   Solution: Grant the user permissions by referring to the service documentation. For example, see Introduction to OBS Permission Control.
