When a user registers with Yandex Cloud, a cloud is created for the user. The cloud is a separate workspace with this user as the owner. In this cloud, the default folder and default network will be created.

The owner can create new folders and resources in this cloud, and manage access rights to them.

  1. To create a folder in the cloud:

    1. In the management console, select the appropriate cloud from the list on the left.

    2. At the top right, click Create folder.

    3. Give your folder a name. The naming requirements are as follows:

      • It must be from 2 to 63 characters long.
      • It may contain lowercase Latin letters, numbers, and hyphens.
      • It must start with a letter and cannot end with a hyphen.
    4. Optionally, specify the description for your folder.

    5. Select Create a default network. This will create a network with subnets in each availability zone. Within this network, you will also have a default security group, inside which all network traffic will be allowed.

    6. Click Create.

  2. Grant a user access to the created folder:

    1. In the management console, select the appropriate folder.
    2. Go to the Access bindings tab.
    3. Click Configure access.
    4. In the window that opens, select User accounts.
    5. Select a user from the list or search by user.
    6. Click Add role.
    7. Select the resource-manager.editor role. This role enables you to read folder information, including the list of access permissions, as well as edit and delete the folder.
    8. Click Save.

Note
