Access management in Yandex BareMetal

  • Useful links

Yandex Cloud users can only perform operations on resources within the permissions of the roles assigned to them. With no roles assigned, almost no operations are allowed.

To grant access to BareMetal resources, assign the relevant roles from the list below to a Yandex account, service account, federated or local users, user group, system group, or public group. Currently, a role can only be assigned for a parent resource, i.e., folder or cloud, whose roles are inherited by nested resources.

For more information about role inheritance, see Inheritance of access permissions in the Resource Manager documentation.

If you do not plan to connect your resources to Cloud Backup and do not want to grant such permissions to your users, you can proactively disable these features using the backup.denyActivation authorization policy assigned to your folder, cloud, or organization. For more information on how to create an authorization policy, see Creating an access policy for a resource.

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 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 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 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 on primitive roles, see the Yandex Cloud role reference.
