Identity Authentication and Access Control

WAF works with Identity and Access Management (IAM). WAF authenticates user identities and controls access to WAF through IAM.

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a basic service of Huawei Cloud that provides permissions management to help you securely control access to the WAF service. With IAM, you can add users to a user group and configure policies to control their access to WAF resources. You can allow or deny access to a specific WAF resource in a fine-grained manner. For details about access permissions for WAF resources, see WAF Permission Management.
