Step 1: Make Preparations

Registering a HUAWEI ID and Getting Authenticated

If you already have a HUAWEI ID, skip this step. If you do not have one, proceed as follows:

1. Visit https://www.huaweicloud.com/intl/en-us/ and click Register in the upper right corner.
2. Register a HUAWEI ID as prompted. For details, see Registering a HUAWEI ID and Enabling Huawei Cloud Services. After the registration is complete, the account information page is displayed.
3. (Optional) If any cloud services require, authenticate your account. Complete individual real-name authentication or enterprise real-name authentication.

Creating an IAM User and Granting Permissions

When you use KooCLI to manage and use your cloud resources, provide your IAM user identity information for authentication.

IAM users are created with a HUAWEI ID to use cloud services. Each IAM user has their own identity credentials and uses cloud resources based on assigned permissions. IAM users cannot make payments themselves. You can use your HUAWEI ID to pay their bills.

After you register with Huawei Cloud, an IAM user is automatically created for your HUAWEI ID. The user is marked "Enterprise administrator" in IAM and their permissions cannot be modified. If you need an IAM user with specific permissions, create another user and grant the user the required permissions.

Obtaining an Access Key (AK/SK)

When you use KooCLI to manage and use your cloud resources, provide your IAM user identity information for authentication. To complete the initial configuration, understand access keys and obtain one.
