Configuring an Agency

The Data Provider and Enterprise Project Management need to be granted with the permission to obtain information from the public cloud platform. Therefore, create an agency on the public cloud platform to obtain the platform information.

  • Assign the agency to the ECS. Then, the Data Provider installed on the ECS can obtain the platform information through the agency.
  • Assign the agency to OBS to ensure that software packages can be uploaded to OBS.

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. In the navigation pane on the left, click and choose Identity Access Management under Management & Deployment.
  3. Click Agencies in the left pane, and then click Create Agency in the upper right corner. The Create Agency page is displayed.
  4. Set agency parameters.

    • Agency Name: DataProviderAccess. This name is only for reference.

    • Cloud Service: Elastic Cloud Server (ECS) and Bare Metal Server (BMS)

    • Permissions:
      1. Click Assign Permissions next to Permissions.
      2. In the displayed dialog box, enter Tenant Guest, OBS Buckets Viewer, and ECS FullAccess respectively.
      3. Select Tenant Guest and OBS Buckets Viewer from the displayed results and then All policies/roles in the drop-down list.
