Creating an IAM User and Granting CloudDC Permissions

You can use Identity and Access Management (IAM) for fine-grained permissions control for your Cloud Data Center (DC). With IAM, you can:

  • Create IAM users for personnel based on your enterprise's organizational structure. Each IAM user has their own identity credentials for accessing CloudDC resources.
  • Grant only the permissions required for users to perform a specific task.
  • Entrust a Huawei Cloud account or a cloud service to perform efficient O&M on your CloudDC resources.

If your Huawei Cloud account does not require individual IAM users, you may skip this section.

Figure 1 shows the procedure for granting permissions.
