Figure 1 Assigning permissions for DSC

Before using DSC, you need to enable and use either OBS or RDS to ensure that there is data to be scanned by DSC.

After permissions are granted, DSC will automatically identify sensitive data in the authorized data assets and evaluates data asset risk levels. You can go to the DSC console to view the asset security details on the Overview page.

1. (Optional) Enable Huawei Cloud OBS or RDS to protect data in your OBS self-built buckets.
   • If OBS or RDS has been enabled, skip to Step 2.
   • If OBS or RDS has not been enabled, enable it and then go to Step 2.

     For details about how to enable OBS, see OBS User Guide. For details about how to enable RDS, see RDS User Guide.

2. (Optional) Create an OBS bucket and upload the files to be stored in the bucket or create a database in an RDS DB instance.
   • If the bucket was created, skip to Step 6.
   • If the bucket was not created, create one and then go to Step 6.

     OBS: For details about how to create a bucket, see Creating a Bucket. For details about how to upload a file to a bucket, see Uploading an Object.
