Creating a User and Granting CBR Permissions

This section describes how to use IAM to implement fine-grained permissions control for your CBR resources. With IAM, you can:

Create IAM users for employees based on your enterprise's organizational structure. Each IAM user will have their own security credentials for accessing CBR resources.
Grant only the permissions required for users to perform a specific task.
Entrust a cloud account or cloud service to perform efficient O&M on your CBR resources.

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

This section describes the procedure for granting permissions (see Figure 1).

Prerequisites

Learn about the permissions (see Permissions Management) supported by CBR and choose policies or roles according to your requirements. For the system policies of other services, see "Permissions".

Process Flow

Figure 1 Process for granting CBR permissions

Create a user group and assign permissions to it.
Create a user group on the IAM console, and assign the CBR ReadOnlyAccess policy to the group.
Create an IAM user and add it to the user group.
Create a user on the IAM console and add the user to the group created in 1.
Log in and verify permissions.
Log in to CBR Console using the created user, and verify that the user has read-only permissions for CBR.
- Choose Service List > Cloud Backup and Recovery. Then click Buy Server Backup Vault on CBR Console. If a message appears indicating that you have insufficient permissions to perform the operation, the CBR ReadOnlyAccess policy has already taken effect.
- Choose any other service in Service List. If a message appears indicating that you have insufficient permissions to access the service, the CBR ReadOnlyAccess policy has already taken effect.
