Resource Access Control (IAM Permission Control)

If you want to give varying levels of access to your company's GaussDB(DWS) resources on Huawei Cloud, using IAM is an effective way to manage permissions in detail. IAM provides identity authentication, permissions management, and access control, helping you securely manage access to your Huawei Cloud resources. With IAM, you can use your Huawei Cloud account to create IAM users, and assign permissions to the users to control their access to specific resources.

• Scenario 1: To allow software developers in your company to use GaussDB(DWS) resources while restricting high-risk operations and resource deletion, you can create IAM users tailored for these developers and grant them only the essential permissions for GaussDB(DWS) usage.
• Scenario 2: Allow employees to use only GaussDB(DWS) resources, but not the resources of other services. To this end, grant them only the permissions for GaussDB(DWS).

You can use IAM to control cloud resource access and prevents misoperations on cloud resources. For details, see Creating a User and Granting GaussDB(DWS) Permissions.
