Managing user access

Assigning access to Hyper Protect Crypto Services in the UI

There are two common ways to assign access in the UI:

• Access policies per user. You can manage access policies per user from the Manage > Access (IAM) > Users page in the UI. For information about the steps to assign IAM access, see Managing access to resources.
• Access groups. Access groups are used to streamline access management by assigning access to a group once, then you can add or remove users as needed from the group to control their access. You manage access groups and their access from the Manage > Access (IAM) > Access groups page in the UI. For more information, see Assigning access to a group in the UI.

Assigning access to Hyper Protect Crypto Services in the CLI

For step-by-step instructions for assigning, removing, and reviewing access, see Assigning access ro resources by using the CLI. The following example shows a command for assigning the Writer role for the service instance:

Use <hs-crypto> for the service name. Also, use quotations around role names that are more than one word like the example here.

ibmcloud iam user-policy-create USER@EXAMPLE.COM --service-name hs-crypto --service-instance <instance-id> --roles "Writer"

Assigning access to Hyper Protect Crypto Services by using the API

For step-by-step instructions for assigning, removing, and reviewing access, see Assigning access to resources by using the API or the Create a policy API docs. Role cloud resource names (CRN) in the following table are used to assign access with the API.

The following example is for assigning the Writer role for the service instance:

Use <hs-crypto> for the service name, and refer to the Role ID values table to ensure that you're using the correct value for the CRN.

Assigning access to Hyper Protect Crypto Services by using Terraform

The following example is for assigning the Writer role for your service instance:

Use <hs-crypto> for the service name.

resource "ibm_iam_user_policy" "policy" {
  ibm_id = "test@example.com"
  roles  = ["Writer"]

  resources {
    service = "hs-crypto"
  }
}
