Concepts

IAM Identity Center User

A user created in IAM Identity Center. You can associate an IAM Identity Center user with multiple accounts in your organization and configure permissions for the user. Then, you can log in to the system as the IAM Identity Center user to access resources of those accounts without repeated login.

IAM Identity Center Group

A logical combination of IAM Identity Center users. You can authorize users by adding them to or removing them from groups, facilitating unified permission management. Users added to a group automatically obtain the permissions granted to the group. If a user is added to multiple groups, the user inherits the permissions from all these groups.

Permission Set

A permission template created and maintained by an administrator. It defines one or more IAM policies. Permission sets simplify the assignment of Huawei Cloud account access for users and groups in IAM Identity Center. With permission sets, you do not need to configure permissions for accounts individually.
