Switching Roles (by a Delegated Party)

When an account establishes a trust relationship with your account, you become a delegated party. The IAM users that are granted agency permissions can switch to the delegating account and manage resources under the account based on the granted permissions.

Prerequisites

A trust relationship has been established between your account and another account.
You have obtained the delegating account name and agency name.

Procedure

Log in to the Huawei Cloud console using your account, or log in as the IAM user created in "Assigning Permissions to an IAM User (by a Delegated Party)".

The IAM user created in "Assigning Permissions to an IAM User (by a Delegated Party)" has permission to manage agencies and switch roles.
Hover the mouse pointer over the username in the upper right corner and choose Switch Role.
