You can use IAM to implement fine-grained permission control for your SecMaster 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 SecMaster resources.
Grant only the permissions required for users to perform a task.
Entrust an account or cloud service to perform professional and efficient O&M on your SecMaster resources.

If your account does not require individual IAM users, skip over this section.

The following walks you through how to grant permissions. Figure 1 shows the process.

Learn about the permissions supported by SecMaster and choose policies or roles according to your requirements.

Table 1 lists all the system-defined roles and policies supported by SecMaster.

**Table 1** System-defined permissions supported by SecMaster
Policy Name	Description	Type
SecMaster FullAccess	All permissions of SecMaster.	System-defined policy
SecMaster ReadOnlyAccess	SecMaster read-only permission. Users granted with these permissions can only view SecMaster data but cannot configure SecMaster.	System-defined policy

Figure 1 Process for granting permissions

Create a user group and assign permissions.
Create a user group on the IAM console, and assign the SecMaster FullAccess permission to the group.
Create a user and add the user to the user group.
Create a user on the IAM console and add the user to the group created in 1.
Log in to the management console as the created user and verify the permissions.
Log in to the SecMaster console as the created user, and verify that the user only has read permissions for SecMaster.

Choose any other service from Service List. If a message appears indicating that you do not have permissions to access the service, the SecMaster FullAccess policy has already taken effect.
