Permission Dependency of the CCE Console

Some CCE permissions policies depend on the policies of other cloud services. To view or use other cloud resources on the CCE console, you need to enable the system policy access control feature of IAM and assign dependency policies for the other cloud services.

  • Dependency policies are assigned based on the CCE FullAccess or CCE ReadOnlyAccess policy you configure.

  • Only users and user groups with namespace permissions can gain the view access to resources in clusters of v1.11.7-r2 and later.

    • If a user is granted the view access to all namespaces of a cluster, the user can view all namespaced resources (except secrets) in the cluster. To view secrets in the cluster, the user must gain the admin or edit role in all namespaces of the cluster.

    • HPA policies take effect only after the cluster-admin permissions are configured for the namespace.

    • The view role within a single namespace allows users to view resources only in the specified namespace.

Dependency Policy Configuration

To grant an IAM user the permissions to view or use resources of other cloud services on the CCE console, you must first grant the CCE Administrator, CCE FullAccess, or CCE ReadOnlyAccess policy to the user group to which the user belongs and then grant the dependency policies listed in Table 1 to the user. These dependency policies will allow the IAM user to access resources of other cloud services.

Note

CCE supports fine-grained permissions configuration, but has the following restrictions:

  • AOM does not support resource-level monitoring. After operation permissions on specific resources are configured using IAM's fine-grained cluster resource management function, IAM users can view cluster monitoring information on the Dashboard page of the CCE console, but cannot view the data on non-fine-grained metrics.

Application Operations Management (AOM)

  • An IAM user with CCE Administrator assigned can use this function only after AOM FullAccess policy is assigned.

  • IAM users with IAM ReadOnlyAccess, CCE FullAccess, or CCE ReadOnlyAccess assigned can directly use this function.

Workload management

Elastic Load Balance (ELB)

Application Performance Management (APM)

Application Operations Management (AOM)

NAT Gateway

Object Storage Service (OBS)

Scalable File Service (SFS)

Except in the following cases, the user does not require any additional role to create workloads.

  • To create a Service using ELB, you must have ELB FullAccess or ELB Administrator plus VPC Administrator assigned.

  • To use a Java probe, you must have AOM FullAccess and APM FullAccess assigned.

  • To create a Service using NAT Gateway, you must have NAT Gateway Administrator assigned.

  • To use OBS, you must have OBS Administrator globally assigned.

    Note

    Because of the cache, it takes about 13 minutes for the RBAC policy to take effect after being granted to users, enterprise projects, and user groups. After an OBS-related system policy is granted, it takes about 5 minutes for the policy to take effect.

  • To use SFS, you must have SFS FullAccess assigned.

Cluster management

Application Operations Management (AOM)

  • Auto scale-out or scale-up requires the AOM FullAccess policy.

Node management

Elastic Cloud Server (ECS)

If the permission assigned to an IAM user is CCE Administrator, creating or deleting a node requires the ECS FullAccess or ECS Administrator policy and the VPC Administrator policy.

Network management

Elastic Load Balance (ELB)

NAT Gateway

Except in the following cases, the user does not require any additional role to create a Service.

  • To create a Service using ELB, you must have ELB FullAccess or ELB Administrator plus VPC Administrator assigned.

  • To create a Service using NAT Gateway, you must have NAT Administrator assigned.

Storage management

Object Storage Service (OBS)

Scalable File Service (SFS)

  • To use OBS, you must have OBS Administrator globally assigned.

    Note

    Because of the cache, it takes about 13 minutes for the RBAC policy to take effect after being granted to users, enterprise projects, and user groups. After an OBS-related system policy is granted, it takes about 5 minutes for the policy to take effect.

  • To use SFS, you must have SFS FullAccess assigned.

The CCE Administrator role is required for importing storage devices.

Cloud accounts and the IAM users with CCE Administrator, CCE FullAccess, or CCE ReadOnlyAccess assigned can use this function.

Permissions management

Configuration center

/

  • Creating ConfigMaps does not require any additional policy.

  • Viewing secrets requires that the cluster-admin, admin, or edit permission be configured for the namespace. The DEW KeypairFullAccess or DEW KeypairReadOnlyAccess policy must be assigned for dependent services.
