MgC Permissions
If you need to assign different permissions to employees in your enterprise to access your MgC resources, IAM is a good choice for fine-grained permissions management. IAM provides identity authentication, permissions management, and access control. It makes it easier to secure access to your resources.
With IAM, you can use your account to create IAM users, and assign permissions to the users to control their access to specific resources. For example, you can create IAM users for software developers and grant them the permissions required for using MgC resources but not the permissions needed for performing any other operations.
If your account does not require individual IAM users for permissions management, you can skip this section.
IAM is a free service. You only pay for the resources in your account. For more information about IAM, see IAM Service Overview.
MgC Permissions
By default, new IAM users do not have any permissions assigned. You need to add a user to one or more groups, and attach permissions policies or roles to these groups. Users inherit permissions from the groups they have been added to and can then perform specified operations on cloud services.
- Roles: A coarse-grained authorization method where you assign permissions based on user responsibilities. Only a limited number of service-level roles are available for authorization. When using roles to grant permissions, you must also assign other roles that the permissions may depend on. Roles are not ideal for fine-grained authorization and access control.
- Policies: A fine-grained authorization tool that defines permissions for operations on specific cloud resources under certain conditions. This type of authorization is more flexible and is ideal for maintaining the principle of least privilege.
