Identity Authentication and Access Control

You can access EVS through the EVS console, APIs, and SDKs. No matter which method you choose, you actually use REST APIs to access EVS.

EVS APIs support only authenticated requests. You must obtain the authentication information from Huawei Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) before you can access EVS. For details about IAM authentication, see Authentication.

Access Control

You can use IAM to securely control access to your EVS resources.

IAM permissions

IAM permissions define which actions on your cloud resources are allowed or denied. After creating an IAM user, the administrator needs to add it to a user group and grant the permissions required by EVS to the user group. Then, all users in this group automatically inherit the granted permissions.
