About access management
All transactions in Yandex.Cloud are checked by the Identity and Access Management service. If a subject doesn't have the required permission, the service returns an error.
To grant permission to a resource, assign roles for this resource to the subject that will perform operations. Roles can be assigned to a Yandex account, service account, or system group. For more information, see How access management in Yandex.Cloud works.
Only users with the admin or resource-manager.clouds.owner role for a resource can assign roles for this resource.
What roles are required
To use the service, you need a role editor or a higher role for the folder where projects are created. With the viewer role, you can only view the list of projects and the contents of files that were downloaded.
You can always assign a role granting more permissions than the role specified. For example, assign the admin role instead of editor.
What resources you can assign roles to.
You can assign roles for a cloud and folder. Cloud roles also apply to nested folders.
What roles exist in the service
The diagram shows which roles are available in the service and how they inherit each other's permissions. For example, the editor role includes all viewer role permissions. A description of each role is given under the diagram.
Active roles in the service:
- Service roles:
-
resource-manager.clouds.owner: Grants you full access to the cloud and the resources in it. You can only assign this role for a cloud. -
