Identity Authentication and Access Control

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a basic service provided by Huawei Cloud for permissions management, access control, and identity authentication. You can use IAM to create and manage users and user groups, grant permissions to allow or deny their access to cloud services and resources, and configure policies to improve account and resource security. IAM also provides you with multiple secure access credentials.

You can use IAM to control access to your EPS resources. IAM permissions define which actions on your cloud resources are allowed or denied. After creating an IAM user, the administrator needs to add the user to a user group and grants the required permissions by EPS to the user group. Then, all users in this group automatically inherit the granted permissions.
