Creating a User and Granting BCS Permissions

This section describes how to use IAM to implement fine-grained permissions control for your BCS resources. With IAM, you can:

Create IAM users for employees based on your enterprise's organizational structure. Each IAM user will have their own security credentials for accessing BCS resources.
Grant only the permissions required for users to perform a specific task.
Entrust a Huawei Cloud account or a cloud service to perform professional and efficient O&M on your BCS resources.

If your Huawei Cloud account does not require individual IAM users, skip this section.

This section describes the procedure for granting permissions (see Figure 1).

Prerequisites

Learn about the permissions (see Permissions Management) supported by BCS and choose policies or roles according to your requirements. For the permissions of other services, see System-defined Permissions.
