Identity Authentication and Access Control

Identity Authentication

Access requesters must present the identity credential for identity validity verification when accessing DMS for Kafka on the console or by calling APIs. DMS for Kafka uses Identity and Access Management (IAM) to provide three identity authentication modes: passwords, access keys, and temporary access keys. In addition, DMS for Kafka provides login protection and login authentication policies to harden identity authentication security.

Access Control

You can assign different permissions for DMS for Kafka to employees in your organization for fine-grained permissions management. IAM provides identity authentication, permissions management, and access control, helping you secure access to your Huawei Cloud resources. For details about DMS for Kafka permissions, see Permissions Management.
