Creating a User and Authorizing the User the Permission to Access KMS

This section describes IAM's fine-grained permissions management for your KMS resources. With IAM, you can:

  • Create IAM users for employees based on the organizational structure of your enterprise. Each IAM user has its own security credentials to access KMS resources.
  • Grant users only the permissions required to perform a task.
  • Entrust an account or cloud service to perform efficient O&M on your KMS resources.

If your account does not need individual IAM users, you may skip over this chapter.

This section describes the procedure for granting permissions (see Figure 1).

Prerequisites

Before authorizing permissions to a user group, you need to know which KMS permissions can be added to the user group. Table 1 lists the KMS system policies.
