Granting IAM User Groups Specific Permissions for All OBS Resources

Scenario

This topic describes how to grant multiple IAM users or user groups specified permissions for all OBS resources.

Recommended Configuration

Use an IAM custom policy to configure the permissions.

Precautions

After configuration, IAM user groups can perform allowed operations using APIs. If they log in to OBS Console or OBS Browser+ to perform those operations, a message will be displayed indicating that they do not have required permissions.

This is because when they log in to OBS Console or OBS Browser+, APIs (such as ListAllMyBuckets and ListBucket) are called to load the bucket list and object list and some other APIs will also be called on other pages, but their permissions do not cover those APIs. In such case, the message is displayed.

To allow IAM users to operate buckets and objects on OBS Console or OBS Browser+, add at least the obs:bucket:ListAllMyBuckets and obs:bucket:ListBucket permissions to the custom policy.

Procedure

1. Configure a custom policy.
