Permissions

If you need to grant your enterprise personnel permission to access your DMS for Kafka resources, use Identity and Access Management (IAM). IAM provides identity authentication, fine-grained permissions management, and access control. IAM helps you secure access to your cloud resources.

You can create IAM users for your employees, and assign permissions to these users on a principle of least privilege (PoLP) basis to control their access to specific resource types. For example, you can create IAM users for software developers and assign specific permissions to allow them to use Kafka instance resources but prevent them from being able to delete resources or perform any high-risk operations.

If your account does not require individual IAM users for permissions management, skip this section.

IAM is a free service. You only pay for the resources in your account.

For more information, see IAM Service Overview.

Note

Permissions policies of DMS for Kafka are based on DMS. Therefore, when assigning permissions, select DMS permissions policies.

DMS for Kafka Permissions

By default, new IAM users do not have any permissions assigned. To assign permissions to these new users, add them to one or more groups, and attach permissions policies or roles to these groups.

DMS for Kafka is a project-level service deployed and accessed in specific physical regions. When assigning DMS for Kafka permissions to a user group, specify region-specific projects where the permissions will take effect. If you select All projects, the permissions will be granted for all region-specific projects. When accessing DMS for Kafka, the users need to switch to a region where they have been authorized to use this service.

You can grant permissions by using roles and policies.

Roles: A type of coarse-grained authorization mechanism that provides only a limited number of service-level roles. When using roles to grant permissions, you also need to assign dependency roles. However, roles are not an ideal choice for fine-grained authorization and secure access control.
Policies: A fine-grained authorization strategy that defines permissions required to perform operations on specific cloud resources under certain conditions. This mechanism allows for more flexible policy-based authorization for more secure access control. For example, you can grant DMS for Kafka users only the permissions for managing instances. Most policies define permissions based on APIs. For the API actions supported by DMS for Kafka, see Permissions Policies and Supported Actions.

Table 1 lists all the system-defined policies supported by DMS for Kafka.

Fine-grained Authorization

To use a custom fine-grained policy, log in to the IAM console as an administrator and select the desired fine-grained permissions for DMS. Table 3 describes fine-grained permission dependencies of DMS for Kafka.
