Creating a User and Granting Permissions
This section describes IAM's fine-grained permissions management for your HSS resources. With IAM, you can:
- Create IAM users for employees based on the organizational structure of your enterprise. Each IAM user has their own security credentials, providing access to HSS resources.
- Grant only the permissions required for users to perform a specific task.
- Entrust a cloud account or cloud service to perform professional and efficient O&M on your HSS resources.
If your account does not require individual IAM users, skip this chapter.
This section describes the procedure for granting permissions (see Figure 1).
Prerequisite
Before authorizing permissions to a user group, you need to know which HSS permissions can be added to the user group. Table 1 describes the policy details.
Role/Policy Name | Description | Type | Dependency |
---|---|---|---|
HSS Administrator | HSS administrator, who has all permissions of HSS | System-defined role |
|
HSS FullAccess | All HSS permissions | System-defined policy | None |
HSS ReadOnlyAccess | Read-only permission for HSS | System-defined policy | None |
Authorization Process
Figure 1 Process for granting permissions

The following procedure describes how to grant only the HSS Administrator permission to users, so that the users can only access and manage HSS and cannot access other cloud services.
- Create a user group and assign permissions. On the IAM console, grant the HSS Administrator permission.
- Create a user and add it to the group. On the IAM console, add the user to the group created in 1.
- Log in and verify permissions.
Log in to the management console as the new user, switch to a region where the user has been granted permissions, and verify that the user only has the HSS Administrator permission.
- In the service list, choose HSS. The Dashboard page is displayed.
- Choose a service other than HSS from the service list. A message is displayed indicating that the user does not have the permission.
The HSS Administrator permission has taken effect.
