Identity and access management
Create User
Identity and Access Management helps users manage resource access permissions within cloud accounts. It caters to various enterprise roles by granting different staff levels access to specific product permissions. For enterprises requiring multi-user collaboration for resource operations, using Identity and Access Management is recommended.
It is applicable to the following usage scenarios:
- Medium and large enterprise customers: Authorization management for multiple employees in the enterprise
- Technology-oriented vendor or SAAS platform provider: Resource and permission management for proxy clients
- Small and medium-sized developers or small enterprise: Add project members or collaborators for resource management
Create User
- After logging into the root account, select Identity and Access Management from the console to access the user management page.

- Navigate to User Management in the left navigation bar, and on the IAM User page, click Create IAM User.

- In the New User dialog box that appears, enter the username, confirm the details, and return to the IAM User Management List to view the newly created IAM user.

Configuration Policy
RapidFS provides system policies enabling both product-level and instance-level permission control.
System policy: A pre-defined set of permissions provided by the Baidu AI Cloud system for resource management. These can be directly assigned to IAM users, but users cannot modify them.
The permissions corresponding to the three types of system policies and their mappings to RapidFS operations are as follows:
| System policies | Permission scope |
|---|---|
| Management operations | All RapidFS operations |
| Operation and maintenance operations | View RapidFS instance list View RapidFS instance details Edit data source APIs View data source APIs View permission group list APIs Edit permission group APIs |
| Read-only operation | View RapidFS instance list View RapidFS instance details View data source APIs View permission group list APIs |
User Authorization
Under User Management -> IAM User List, locate the relevant IAM user and click Add Permission in the Operations column. You can then authorize the user through either a System Policy or a Custom Policy.

Sign in as IAM User
After the root account authorizes the IAM user, it can share the login link with the IAM user. The IAM user can then access the root account's management console via this link and operate or view the root account's resources based on the granted policies.
For other detailed operations, refer to: Identity and Access Management.
