Identity Authentication and Access Control

You can access CBR through the CBR console, APIs, or SDKs. No matter which method you choose, you actually use REST APIs to access CBR.

CBR APIs support only authenticated requests. You must obtain the authentication information from Huawei Cloud IAM before you can access CBR. For details about IAM authentication, see Authentication.

Access Control

You can use IAM to securely control access to your CBR resources.

Then, all users in this group automatically inherit the granted permissions.	Permissions Management
