Access management in Yandex MetaData Hub

Access managementAccess management

Yandex Identity and Access Management checks all transactions in Yandex Cloud. If an entity does not have required permissions, this service returns an error.

To grant permissions for a resource, assign the appropriate resource roles to an entity performing operations, such as a Yandex account, service account, federated users, user group, system group, or public group. For more information, see How access management works in Yandex Cloud.

To assign a role for a resource, a user needs the connection-manager.admin role or one of the following roles for that resource:

• admin
• resource-manager.admin
• organization-manager.admin
• resource-manager.clouds.owner
• organization-manager.organizations.owner

You can assign a role for an organization, cloud, folder, or connection. The roles assigned for organizations, clouds, or folders also apply to nested resources.

You can assign a role for a connection in the management console.

Roles existing in Yandex MetaData HubRoles existing in Yandex MetaData Hub

You can use Yandex MetaData Hub roles (service roles) and Yandex Cloud roles (primitive roles) to manage access permissions.

Service rolesService roles

Yandex Cloud supports a separate list of roles for each service in Yandex MetaData Hub. For more information, see:

• Roles to manage connections using Connection Manager.
• Roles to work with with metadata in a Hive Metastore cluster.
• Roles to work with Schema Registry.

Primitive rolesPrimitive roles

Primitive roles allow users to perform actions in all Yandex Cloud services.

auditorauditor

The auditor role grants a permission to read configuration and metadata of any Yandex Cloud resources without any access to data.

For instance, users with this role can:

• View info on a resource.
• View the resource metadata.
• View the list of operations with a resource.

auditor is the most secure role that does not grant any access to the service data. This role suits the users who need minimum access to the Yandex Cloud resources.

viewerviewer

The viewer role grants the permissions to read the info on any Yandex Cloud resources.

This role also includes the auditor permissions.

Unlike auditor, the viewer role provides access to service data in read mode.

editoreditor

The editor role provides permissions to manage any Yandex Cloud resources, except for assigning roles to other users, transferring organization ownership, removing an organization, and deleting Key Management Service encryption keys.

For instance, users with this role can create, modify, and delete resources.

This role also includes the viewer permissions.

adminadmin

The admin role enables assigning any roles, except for resource-manager.clouds.owner and organization-manager.organizations.owner, and provides permissions to manage any Yandex Cloud resources (except for transferring organization ownership and removing an organization).

Prior to assigning the admin role for an organization, cloud, or billing account, make sure to check out the information on protecting privileged accounts.

This role also includes the editor permissions.

Instead of primitive roles, we recommend using service roles with more granular access control, allowing you to implement the least privilege principle.

For more information about primitive roles, see the Yandex Cloud role reference.
