2. Hover your cursor over the username in the upper right corner, and choose Identity and Access Management from the drop-down list.
3. Create a user group and assign permissions to it.

   Create a user group. In the user group list, locate the user group you created and click Authorize in the Operation column. On the Authorize User Group page, search for MgC in the search box. Select the permissions to be assigned to the user group. For details about MgC permissions, see Permissions Management.

   

   A maximum of 20 user groups can be created.

   Create a user and add it to the user group authorized with MgC permissions in Step 3.

Obtaining Access Keys (AK/SK)

Access keys are identity credentials used to call APIs. The account administrator and IAM users can only use their own access keys to call APIs. For details about how to obtain the access keys, see Access Keys.
