System-defined Policies

**Table 1** GES system-defined policies
Policy Name	Description
GES FullAccess	Administrator permissions for GES. Users granted these permissions can perform all operations on GES, including creating, deleting, accessing, and updating graphs. NOTE: Users with permissions of this policy must also be granted permissions of the Tenant Guest, Server Administrator, and VPC Administrator policies. To bind or unbind an EIP, you need the Security Administrator permission to create agencies. The Security Administrator role has fairly high-level permissions. You can use the following custom policies to replace this role: "iam:agencies:listAgencies","iam:permissions:listRolesForAgency","iam:permissions:listRolesForAgencyOnProject","iam:permissions:listRolesForAgencyOnDomain". To use resources stored on OBS for other services, you need the OBS OperateAccess permission. OBS is a global service. You can find the corresponding OBS policy in the Global service project scope. When granting GES FullAccess to an enterprise project, you need to configure the following permissions policies in IAM: ecs:availabilityZones:list ecs:cloudServerNics:update
GES Development	Operator permissions for all operations except creating, deleting, resizing, and expanding graphs. NOTE: To bind or unbind an EIP, you must have the Security Administrator permission to create agencies. The Security Administrator role can be replaced by the following custom policies: "iam:agencies:listAgencies","iam:permissions:listRolesForAgency","iam:permissions:listRolesForAgencyOnProject","iam:permissions:listRolesForAgencyOnDomain". To use resources stored on OBS for other services, you need the OBS OperateAccess permission. OBS is a global service. You can find the corresponding OBS policy in the Global service project scope.
GES ReadOnlyAccess	Read-only permissions for viewing resources, such as graphs, metadata, and backup data. NOTE: To use resources stored on OBS for other services, you need the OBS OperateAccess permission. OBS is a global service. You can find the corresponding OBS policy in the Global service project scope.

It takes about 13 minutes for an OBS role to take effect after being applied to a user or group. A policy takes about 5 minutes.
