Managing IAM access for VPC Infrastructure Services

Assigning access to VPC Infrastructure Services in the console

You have two common ways to assign access in the console:

• Access policies per user. You can manage access policies per user from the Manage > Access (IAM) > Users page in the console. For more 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 console. For more information, see Assigning access to a group in the console.

Assigning access to VPC Infrastructure 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 Viewer role for VPC Infrastructure Services:

Use is for the service name. Also, use quotations around role names that are more than one word as shown in the example here.

ibmcloud iam user-policy-create USER@EXAMPLE.COM --service-name is --roles "Viewer"

Assigning access to VPC Infrastructure 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 Create a policy API. Role cloud resource names (CRN) in the following table are used to assign access with the API.

The following example is for assigning the Viewer role for VPC Infrastructure Services:

Use is for the service name and refer to the Role ID values table to make sure that you're using the correct value for the CRN.

curl -X POST 'https://iam.cloud.ibm.com/v1/policies' -H 'Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{

Assigning access to VPC Infrastructure Services by using Terraform

The following example is for assigning the Viewer role for VPC Infrastructure Services:

Use is for the service name.

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

  resources {
    service = "is"
  }
}
