Configuring Agency Permissions

Overview

FunctionGraph works with other cloud services in most scenarios. Create a cloud service agency so that FunctionGraph can perform resource O&M in other cloud services on your behalf.

Scenario

Before using FunctionGraph in the following scenarios, create an agency. Adjust the permissions granted to the agency to meet your service requirements. For example, grant the Admin permission in the development phase, and change it to the fine-grained minimum permission in the product environment. This ensures the required permissions while eliminating risks. Select the required action by referring to Table 1.

    Parameter

    Description

    Configuration Agency

    Select a function that you have created.

    Execution Agency

    Mandatory if you select Specify an exclusive agency for function execution.
    • To ensure optimal performance, select Specify an exclusive agency for function execution and set different agencies for function configuration and execution. You can also use no agency or specify the same agency for both purposes. Figure 4 shows the agency options.
      Figure 4 Setting agencies

    • Configuration Agency: For example, to create Data Ingestion Service (DIS) triggers, first specify an agency with DIS permissions. If such an agency is not specified or the specified agency does not exist, no DIS triggers can be created.
    • Execution Agency: This type of agency enables you to obtain a token and AK/SK from the context in the function handler for accessing other cloud services.
  1. Click Save.

Modifying an Agency

Modifying an agency: You can modify the permissions, validity period, and description of an agency on the IAM console.

  • After an agency is modified, it takes about 10 minutes for the modification (for example, context.getToken) to take effect.
  • The agency information obtained using the context method is valid for 24 hours. Refresh it before it expires.
