Access management in Yandex IoT Core

In this section, you'll learn:

• Which resources you can assign roles to.
• Which roles exist in the service.

About access management

All transactions in Yandex Cloud are checked by the Yandex Identity and Access Management service. If a subject doesn't 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 or resource-manager.clouds.owner role for a resource can assign roles for this resource.

What resources you can assign roles to

You can assign a role for a cloud or folder. These roles also apply to nested resources.

What roles exist in the service

resource-manager.clouds.member	A role everyone requires to access cloud resources, except for cloud owners and service accounts.
