Access management in Load Testing
Load Testing uses roles to manage access rights.
In this section, you will learn:
- Which resources you can assign a role for.
- Which roles exist in the service.
- Which roles are required for particular actions.
About access management
In Yandex Cloud, all transactions are checked in Yandex Identity and Access Management. If a subject does not have the required permission, the service returns an error.
To grant permission for a resource, assign roles for this resource to the subject that will perform operations. Roles can be assigned to a Yandex account, a service account, federated users, a user group, or a system group. For more information, see How access management works in Yandex Cloud.
Only users with the admin
, resource-manager.clouds.owner
, or organization-manager.organizations.owner
role for a resource can assign roles for this resource.
Which resources you can assign a role for
As with other services, you can assign roles for clouds, folder and service accounts. The roles assigned for clouds and folders also apply to nested resources.
Which roles exist in the service
The chart below shows which roles are available in the service and how they inherit each other's permissions. For example, the editor
