Logging In to Huawei Cloud

Logging In Using a HUAWEI ID

A HUAWEI ID is a unified identity that you can use to access all Huawei services. You can register and manage a HUAWEI ID on the HUAWEI ID website. You can also register a HUAWEI ID and use it to enable Huawei Cloud services in Huawei Cloud. When logging in to the Huawei Cloud console using a HUAWEI ID, you can enter a mobile number, email address, login ID, or Huawei Cloud account name.

To log in using a HUAWEI ID, do as follows:

1. On the login page, enter your mobile number, email address, login ID, or Huawei Cloud account name, enter the password, and then click LOG IN.

   • You can enter a Huawei Cloud account or a HUAWEI ID that has been used to enable Huawei Cloud services.
   • If you enter a HUAWEI ID whose mobile number or email address has been used to enable Huawei Cloud services, go to 2.
   • If you enter a HUAWEI ID whose mobile number or email address has not been used to enable Huawei Cloud services, go to 3.

2. Select the account you want to use for login.
   If the mobile number or email address you entered has been used to register a HUAWEI ID and Huawei Cloud account, select an account for login.

   • Select the HUAWEI ID and click OK. Then, go to 3.
   • Select the Huawei Cloud account and click OK. The login is successful.

3. Click Get code, enter the verification code, and click OK.

   If you have already associated both a mobile number and email address with your HUAWEI ID, you can choose mobile number or email address verification.

4. In the Trust this browser? dialog box, click TRUST.
5. In the displayed dialog box, click Enable HUAWEI CLOUD Services or Use Another HUAWEI CLOUD Account.
   • Enable HUAWEI CLOUD Services: Click this button to enable Huawei Cloud services for the HUAWEI ID so that you can use the HUAWEI ID to log in to Huawei Cloud. After clicking this button, go to 6.
   • Use Another HUAWEI CLOUD Account: Click this button to log in using another Huawei Cloud account. After clicking this button, go to 1.

6. (Optional) If the mobile number or email address you entered has been used to register for Huawei Cloud accounts, select an account, and associate it with your HUAWEI ID.
   

   After you associate a Huawei Cloud account with your HUAWEI ID, you can use the HUAWEI ID to access Huawei Cloud, HUAWEI Developers, VMALL, and other Huawei services.

   • Associating a Huawei Cloud account with your HUAWEI ID

        • After you perform the preceding steps, your Huawei Cloud account is associated with your HUAWEI ID and becomes invalid. You need to use the HUAWEI ID for the next login.
        • If the upgrade fails, see "What Can I Do If the Upgrade to a HUAWEI ID Fails?" in the IAM FAQs.
   • Enabling Huawei Cloud services

     Click Skip This Step and Enable HUAWEI CLOUD Services, and go to 7.

7. On the Enable HUAWEI CLOUD Services page, read the service agreements and confirm that you accept them, and then click Enable.

   You can now use the HUAWEI ID to log in to Huawei Cloud.

Logging In Using Other Accounts

If you already have a Huawei website account or Huawei enterprise partner account, you can use them to log in to Huawei Cloud without memorizing additional credentials.

The following procedure describes how to use an account of the Huawei official website to log in to Huawei Cloud.

1. On the login page, click Huawei Website Account, as shown in the following figure.
   Figure 3 Logging in using a Huawei website account
   

2. Log in using your Huawei website account.
   • If this is the first login, you will be requested to bind your Huawei website account to an existing or a new Huawei Cloud account. To create a new Huawei Cloud account, enter the account name, mobile number, and verification code. Click Create and Bind.
   • If this is not the first login, you can directly log in using your Huawei website account.

   Next time you log in to the Huawei Cloud console, you can use the name or mobile number set in 2 for the Huawei Cloud account.

Logging In Using a Huawei Cloud Account

If you have a Huawei Cloud account, you can use it to log in to Huawei Cloud. The account owns resources you purchase, makes payments for the use of these resources, and has full access permissions for them. You can use the account to reset user passwords and assign permissions. When using the account to log in to the Huawei Cloud console, you can choose account/email login or mobile number login.

If your Huawei Cloud account has been upgraded to a HUAWEI ID, use the HUAWEI ID to log in. For details, see Logging In Using a HUAWEI ID.

To log in using a Huawei Cloud account, do as follows:

1. On the login page, click HUAWEI CLOUD Account.
   Figure 4 Logging in using a HUAWEI CLOUD account
   

2. Enter your account information and click Log In.
   • Account name or email: The account name or the email address associated with the account.
     

     Account names are case-insensitive.

   • Password: The login password of the account. If you have forgotten your login password, reset it on the login page.
   • Mobile Number Login: If you have forgotten the account name, click Mobile Number Login, and enter the associated mobile number and the login password to log in.

Logging In as an IAM User

IAM users can be created using your Huawei Cloud account or by an administrator. Each IAM user has their own identity credentials (password and access keys) and uses cloud resources based on assigned permissions. IAM users cannot make payments themselves. You can use your account to pay for the resources they use.

Your account and IAM users have a parent-child relationship.

Figure 5 Account and IAM users

To log in as an IAM user, do as follows:

1. Click IAM User on the login page, and then enter your account name, IAM user name or email address, and password.

   • Tenant name or HUAWEI CLOUD account name: The name of the account that was used to create the IAM user. You can obtain the account name from the administrator.
   • IAM user name or email address: The username or email address of the IAM user. You can obtain the username and password from the administrator.
   • IAM user password: The password of the IAM user (not the password of the account).

2. Click Log In.

Logging In as a Federated User

Federated users are created in an enterprise management system. After the account administrator creates an IdP entity on the IAM console, federated users can log in to Huawei Cloud and use cloud services based on assigned permissions. For details, see Introduction.

You can log in to Huawei Cloud as a federated user if you have obtained the name of your IdP, the Huawei Cloud account used to create IdP, and the username and password for logging in to your enterprise management system.

1. On the Huawei Cloud login page, click Federated User, enter the account name, and select an identity provider.
   Figure 7 Logging in as a federated user

   • Identity provider: The name of the identity provider created by the administrator. You can obtain the identity provider name from the administrator.

2. Click Log In. The login page of the enterprise management system is displayed.
