Access Management
Access account
On the File Storage system, you can use 2 types of accounts to access File Storage. Details of these 2 types include:
Root user account: Is the first initial account to access VNG Cloud with full access to all resource services on VNG Cloud.
IAM user account: Is an account created through the IAM system and used to operate through the File Storage Portal.
Root user account
Create Root User Account
To create a Root user account, please register an account at the registration page https://register.vngcloud.vn/signup .
After you create a Root user account, you collect the following information to access and work with resources using the Root user account:
The email address used to create the Root user account.
Password for the Root user account.
Cancel Root User Account
To cancel your Root account, you need to contact us by creating a ticket to request account cancellation. For more details, see Account Cancellation Instructions .
IAM user account
Create IAM User Account
To create an IAM user account, please first refer to the instructions below:
Log in to https://hcm-3.console.vngcloud.vn/iam/ with Root User Account.
Select User Account .
Select Create a User Account.
In the Account username section , enter the Account username you want. The IAM User Account name must be from 5 (minimum) to 50 (maximum) characters long and can only include uppercase letters, lowercase letters (az, AZ), numbers (0-9), periods (.), underscores (_), and hyphens (-). The IAM User Account name should not contain sensitive information (e.g. IP address, login password, etc.) and the IAM User Account name must be unique on a VNG Cloud account until that IAM User Account is deleted. For example, the following IAM User Account name is valid: IAM_Phong_kinh_doanh_01.
Select Add a username .
In the Account password section , you can:
Enter your desired password . Password must be between 8 (minimum) and 50 (maximum) characters long and must include at least 1 uppercase letter (A-Z), 1 lowercase letter (a-z), 1 number (0-9), and 1 special character (!@#$%,...).
Select Auto-generate if you want the system to automatically generate a password for you.
Select Copy to copy the password. You must collect this information to access File Storage using an IAM User Account.
Select Create User Account.
Create a policy for IAM user account
To initialize a policy used to access File Storage resources, follow the steps below:
Log in to https://hcm-3.console.vngcloud.vn/iam/ with Root User Account.
Select the Policy folder .
Select Create a Policy .
Enter Name and Description if given for Policy.
Select Next step .
Select Product as file-storage .
Select Actions :
Select Allow permissions : by default, the vIAM system will always be on, which means allowing permissions to be applied to the policy. If you turn this mode off, the system will deny (reverse) the corresponding permissions.
Allow permissions : allow access according to the selected action.
Deny permissions : deny access according to the selected action.
Select All file storage actions if you want to create a policy that has the right to perform all actions on File Storage. For details on the meaning of the actions, please refer to File Storage Features, Resources and Access Rights.
Select Resources :
Select All resources if you want the access selected above to be allowed to access all resources on your SSO account.
Select Specify resources : select the specific storage id file that you want to allow access to. You can enter information for each of these resources in one of the following ways:
Enter * if you want to select all resources.
Enter the specific ID of the storage file if you want to point to that exact storage file.
You can also select Any to allow access to all file storage in your SSO account.
Select Request conditions: enter special conditions for the policy if any.
After you have completed the above 8 steps, the file storage policy has been created. Next, you need to assign it to your IAM User Account.
Attach IAM User Account with corresponding policy
Once you have created the desired IAM User Account and Policy, you will need to link the IAM User Account to the policy as per the instructions below:
Log in to https://hcm-3.console.vngcloud.vn/iam/ with Root User Account.
Select the User Account folder .
Select the IAM User Account you want to assign permissions to.
Select Attach policies .
Select the policies you want. The vIAM system supports you to assign multiple policies to an IAM User Account. If these policies contain independent permissions, they will complement each other (ie the permission list is merged). On the contrary, if these policies contain conflicting permissions, you will not be able to access the corresponding resources according to this permission list (ie the permission list is merged and when conflicting, they will cancel each other out).
Select Attach .
