Creating a User and Granting RAM Permissions

You can use Identity and Access Management (IAM) to implement fine-grained permissions control for your RAM resources. With IAM, you can:

  • Create IAM users for personnel based on your enterprise's organizational structure. Each IAM user has their own identity credentials for accessing RAM resources.
  • Grant users only the permissions required to perform a given task based on their job responsibilities.
  • Entrust a Huawei Cloud account or a cloud service to perform professional and efficient O&M on your RAM resources.

If your Huawei Cloud account meets your permissions requirements, you can skip this section.
