Permissions

Updated on 2025-01-13 GMT+08:00

If you need to grant your enterprise personnel permission to access your SWR resources, use Identity and Access Management (IAM). IAM provides identity authentication, fine-grained permissions management, and access control. IAM helps you secure access to your Huawei Cloud resources.

With IAM, you can create IAM users and grant them permission to access only specific resources. For example, if you want some software developers in your enterprise to be able to use SWR resources but not be able to delete the resources or perform any other high-risk operations, you can create IAM users and grant permission to use SWR resources but not permission to delete them.

If your Huawei Cloud 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.

SWR Permissions

New IAM users do not have any permissions assigned by default. You need to first add them to one or more groups and then attach policies or roles to these groups. The users then inherit permissions from the groups and can perform specified operations on cloud services based on the permissions they have been assigned.

SWR is a project-level service deployed for specific regions. When you set Scope to Region-specific projects and select the specified projects (for example, ap-southeast-1) in the specified regions (for example, CN-Hong Kong), the users only have permissions for SWR resources in the selected projects. When accessing SWR, the users need to switch to the authorized region.

You can grant permissions by using roles and policies.

  • Roles: A coarse-grained authorization strategy that defines permissions by job responsibility. Only a limited number of service-level roles are available for authorization. Huawei Cloud services often depend on each other. When you grant permissions using roles, you also need to attach any existing role dependencies. Roles are not ideal for fine-grained authorization and least privilege access.
  • Policies: A fine-grained authorization strategy that defines permissions required to perform operations on specific cloud resources under certain conditions. This type of authorization is more flexible and is ideal for least privilege access. For example, you can grant users only permission to manage a certain type of ECSs.

SWR has two editions: Shared and Enterprise.

Table 1 and Table 2 describe all system-defined policies and roles of SWR Shared Edition.
