Creating a User and Granting CCI Permissions

This section describes how to use IAM to implement fine-grained permissions control for your CCI resources. With IAM, you can:

Create IAM users for personnel based on your enterprise's organizational structure. Each IAM user will have their own security credentials for accessing CCI resources.
Grant only the permissions required for users to perform a specific task.
Entrust an account or cloud service to perform efficient O&M on your CCI resources.

If your account does not require individual IAM users, skip this section.

This section describes the procedure for granting permissions (see Figure 1).

Learn about the permissions (see Permissions Management) supported by CCI.

Figure 1 Process of granting CCI permissions

Create a user group and assign permissions.
Create a user group (for example, Developers) on the IAM console and assign the CCI CommonOperations policy to the group. CCI is a project-level service. When assigning CCI system-defined policies to users, you also need to assign the IAM ReadOnlyAccess policy to the users.
Create an IAM user.
Create a user (for example, James) on the IAM console and add the user to the group created in 1.
Log in and verify permissions.
Log in to the management console as the user you have created and verify that the user has the assigned permissions.
- Choose Service List > Cloud Container Instance. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Workloads > Deployments. On the page displayed, click Create from Image. If the Deployment is created successfully, the CCI CommonOperations policy has taken effect.
- Choose Service List > Cloud Container Instance. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Namespaces. On the page displayed, click Create for the target namespace type. If the namespace cannot be created, the CCI CommonOperations policy has taken effect.
