After permissions are granted, DSC will automatically identify sensitive data in the authorized data assets and evaluates data asset risk levels. You can go to the DSC console to view the asset security details on the Overview page.

  1. (Optional) Enable HUAWEI CLOUD OBS or RDS to protect data in your OBS self-built buckets.

    • If OBS or RDS was enabled, skip to 2.

      For details about how to enable OBS, see OBS User Guide. For details about how to enable RDS, see RDS User Guide.
