Creating a User and Granting CSBS Permissions

This section describes how to use IAM to implement fine-grained permissions control for your CSBS 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 CSBS resources.
Grant only the permissions required for users to perform a special task.
Entrust a HUAWEI CLOUD account or cloud service to perform efficient O&M on your CSBS 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 CSBS Permissions) supported by CSBS and choose policies or roles according to your requirements. For the permissions of other services, see System Permissions.

Process Flow

Figure 1 Process of granting CSBS permissions

Create a user group and assign permissions to it.
Create a user group on the IAM console, and attach the CSBS Administrator policy to the group.
Create an IAM user.
Create a user on the IAM console and add the user to the group created in 1.
Log in and verify permissions.
Log in to the CSBS console by using the user created in 2, and verify that the user only has read permissions for CSBS.
- Choose Service List > Cloud Server Backup Service. Then click Create CSBS Backup on the CSBS console. If a CSBS backup is successfully created, the CSBS Administrator policy has already taken effect.
- Choose any other service in the Service List. If a message appears indicating that you have insufficient permissions to access the service, the CSBS Administrator policy has already taken effect.
