DSC Permissions and Supported Actions

This section describes how to use IAM for fine-grained DSC permissions management. If your Huawei Cloud account does not need individual IAM users, skip over this section.

By default, new IAM users do not have any permissions. You need to add a user to one or more groups, and attach permissions policies or roles to these groups. Users inherit permissions from the groups to which they are added and can perform specified operations on cloud services based on the permissions.

You can grant users permissions by using roles and policies. Roles are provided by IAM to define service-based permissions depending on user's job responsibilities. Policies are a type of fine-grained authorization mechanism that defines permissions required to perform operations on specific cloud resources under certain conditions

Supported Actions

DSC provides system-defined policies that can be directly used in IAM. You can also create custom policies and use them to supplement system-defined policies, implementing more refined access control.

Permissions: Statements in a policy that allow or deny certain operations
Actions: Added to a custom policy to control permissions for specific operations
