Preparations

Before using CCI, you need to make the following preparations:

Registering with Huawei Cloud

If you already have a Huawei Cloud account, skip this part. If you do not have a Huawei Cloud account, perform the following operations to create one:
  1. Visit the Huawei Cloud official website and click Register.
  2. On the Register page, create an account. For details, see Registering with Huawei Cloud.

    After the creation is complete, the system automatically redirects you to your personal information page.

Topping Up Your Account

Ensure that your account has sufficient balance.

Creating an IAM User

If you want to allow multiple users to manage your resources without sharing your password or keys, you can create users using IAM and grant permissions to the users. These users can use specified links and their own accounts to access Huawei Cloud and help you manage resources efficiently. You can also configure account security policies to ensure the security of these accounts.

Huawei Cloud accounts have the permissions to use CCI. However, IAM users created by Huawei Cloud accounts do not have the permissions. You need to manually assign the permissions to IAM users. For details, see Permissions Management.
