Using IAM to Grant Access to FlexusX

FlexusX allows you to use IAM to implement fine-grained permissions control on your FlexusX resources. With IAM, you can:

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

If your Huawei Cloud account meets your permissions requirements, you can skip this section.

This section describes how to grant permissions to a FlexusX instance.

Creating a User and Granting Permissions for FlexusX Instances

Before assigning permissions to user groups, you should learn about system-defined policies supported by cloud servers and select the policies based on service requirements.

The system-defined policies of a FlexusX instance are the same as those of an ECS.

For details, see Permissions Management.
Figure 1 shows the process of creating a user and granting permissions for FlexusX instances. For details, see Creating a User and Granting ECS Permissions.

Example Custom policies

You can create custom policies to supplement the system-defined policies of FlexusX. Custom policies of a FlexusX instance are the same as those of an ECS. For details, see ECS Custom Policies.
