Identity and Access Management (Class II Node)

Creating an IAM User

2025-11-03 01:51:43

If you are an administrator and have created various resources on the cloud service platform—such as ECSs, EVSs, and DPSs—you may need to allocate these resources to different employees or applications within your enterprise. To avoid sharing your own account credentials, you can use the User Management feature on the eSurfing Cloud official website to create IAM users for employees or applications.

By default, a newly created IAM user has no permissions. The administrator needs to explicitly grant permissions to the IAM user, either by assigning individual permissions or by adding the user to a user group and granting permissions to that group. Users within the group will automatically inherit the group's permissions.

Once an IAM user has been granted permissions, they can perform operations on cloud services based on their assigned access rights.

Note:

The admin group is the default user group with operational permissions for all cloud service resources. After adding a user to this group, the user can operate and use all cloud service resources, including but not limited to creating user groups and users, modifying user group permissions, managing resources, etc.

If a user with the same name is deleted and recreated, reauthorization is required.

Procedure

Step 1: The administrator logs in to the eSurfing Cloud official website using a registered eSurfing Cloud account.

Step 2: Click on the account name in the upper-right corner, then select Personal Center from the dropdown menu.

Step 3: In the left navigation pane of the Personal Center, click IAM.

Step 4: In the left navigation pane of IAM, click User.

Step 5: On the Users management page, click Create User.

Step 6: On the Create User page, enter the user's information, including username, mobile phone number, user group, etc.

User Group: Select an existing user group from the dropdown menu. The new user will inherit all permissions of this group, which constitutes user authorization.

Basic User Information: Enter details such as the user's email and username, and set an initial login password.

Step 7: Click Confirm to complete the IAM user creation. The system will return to the sub-user list, where the newly created IAM user will be displayed.
