Creating a User and Granting Permissions

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

  • Create IAM users for employees using the HUAWEI CLOUD account based on the organizational structure of your enterprise. Each IAM user has their own security credentials, providing access to DIS resources.
  • Grant only the permissions required for users to perform a task.
  • Entrust a HUAWEI CLOUD account or cloud service to perform professional and efficient O&M on your DIS resources.

If your HUAWEI CLOUD account does not need individual IAM users, then you may skip over this chapter.

This section describes the procedure for granting permissions. Figure 1 shows the procedure.

Prerequisites

Learn about the permissions (see Permissions Management) supported by DIS and choose policies or roles according to your requirements.

Process Flow

Figure 1 Process for granting DIS permissions
  1. Create a user group and assign permissions to it.

    Create a user group on the IAM console and assign the DIS Operator policy to the group.

  2. Create an IAM user.

    Create a user on the IAM console and add the user to the group created in 1.

  3. Log in and verify permissions.

    Log in to the console by using the user created, and verify that the user has the granted permissions.

    • Choose Service List > Data Ingestion Service. On the DIS console, create a stream. If no message appears indicating insufficient permissions to perform the operation, the DIS Operator policy has already taken effect.
    • Choose any other service in Service List. If a message appears indicating that you have insufficient permissions to access the service, the DIS Operator policy has already taken effect.
