Introduction
What is Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a fundamental identity authentication and access management service provided by Huawei Cloud, offering core functions such as identity management, permission management, and access control for Huawei Cloud users. IAM service supports fine-grained permission control, helping enterprises achieve unified, secure, and efficient cloud resource access management through flexible combinations of users, user groups, roles, and policies.
IAM service provides a complete identity authentication and authorization system, supporting multiple authentication methods, Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and other security features, meeting enterprise-level identity management and compliance requirements. Through IAM service, enterprises can implement the principle of least privilege, precisely control user access permissions to cloud resources, and improve the security and management efficiency of cloud resources.
Best Practices Overview
This section provides best practice examples for using Terraform to automatically deploy and manage Huawei Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM), helping you understand how to efficiently manage IAM resources on the cloud using Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
Through the best practices in this section, you can learn the main deployment processes for IAM resources. These best practices will help you quickly get started with automated IAM deployment and lay a solid foundation for subsequent user, user group, role, and permission management operations.
Best Practices List
This section contains the following best practices:
