Creating a User and Granting Permissions for Cloud Connections

Use IAM to implement fine-grained permissions control for your Cloud Connect 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 Cloud Connect resources.
Grant only the permissions required for users to perform a specific task.
Delegate a Huawei Cloud account to manage or a cloud service to access your Cloud Connect resources.

Skip this part if you do not require individual IAM users for refined permissions management.

Figure 1 shows the process of granting permissions.

Prerequisites

Before you assign permissions to a user group, you need to know the permissions that you can assign to the user group and select permissions based on service requirements. For details about the system permissions, see Permissions. For the system policies of other services, see System Permissions.

Process Flow

Figure 1 Process of granting permissions

Create a user group and assign permissions (the Cross Connect Administrator policy used as an example).
Create an IAM user and add it to the user group.
Log in and verify permissions.
After logging in to the Cloud Connect console using the user's credentials, verify that the user has all permissions for Cloud Connect resources.
- In the service list, choose Networking > Cloud Connect. Click Create Cloud Connection in the upper right corner. If the cloud connection can be created, the Cross Connect Administrator policy has taken effect.
- Choose any other service in the service list. A message will appear indicating that you have sufficient permissions to access the service.
