Written by
Updated at October 30, 2024

To grant a user, group, or service account access to a disk snapshot schedule, assign a role for it.

Assigning a role

  1. In the management console, select the folder the schedule belongs to.
  2. Select Compute Cloud.
  3. In the left-hand panel, select Snapshots.
  4. Go to the Snapshot schedules tab.
  5. Select a schedule from the list.
  6. Go to the Access bindings tab.
  7. Click Assign bindings.
  8. In the window that opens, select a group, user, or service account to be granted access to the schedule.
  9. Click Add role and select the required roles.
  10. Click Save.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

  1. See the CLI command description for assigning a role for a disk snapshot schedule:

    yc compute snapshot-schedule add-access-binding --help

  2. Get a list of schedules in the default folder:

    yc compute snapshot-schedule list

    Result:

    +----------------------+-----------------+--------+-------------+
|          ID          |      NAME       | STATUS | DESCRIPTION |
+----------------------+-----------------+--------+-------------+
| fd85vvoeea6u******** | first-schedule  | ACTIVE |             |
| fd14ogykea8j******** | second-schedule | ACTIVE |             |
+----------------------+-----------------+--------+-------------+

  3. View the list of roles already assigned for the resource:

    yc compute snapshot-schedule list-access-bindings <schedule_ID>

  4. Assign the role using the command:

    • To a user:

      yc compute snapshot-schedule add-access-binding <schedule_ID> \
  --user-account-id <user_ID> \
  --role <role>

      Where:

    • To a service account:

      yc compute snapshot-schedule add-access-binding <schedule_ID> \
  --service-account-id <service_account_ID> \
  --role <role>

      Where:

Terraform allows you to quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. Configuration files store the infrastructure description in the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). Terraform and its providers are distributed under the Business Source License.

For more information about the provider resources, see the documentation on the Terraform website or the mirror.

If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.

If you don't have Terraform, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

To assign a role for a schedule using Terraform:

  1. In the Terraform configuration file, describe the parameters of the resources you want to create:

    resource "yandex_compute_snapshot_schedule_iam_binding" "sa-access" {
  snapshot_schedule_id = "<schedule_ID>"
  role                 = "<role>"
  members              = ["<subject_type>:<subject_ID>","<subject_type>:<subject_ID>"]
}

    Where:

    • snapshot_schedule_id: Schedule ID.
    • role: Role to assign.
    • members: List of types and IDs of subjects the roles are assigned to. Specify it as userAccount:<user_ID> or serviceAccount:<service_account_ID>.

    For more information about the yandex_compute_snapshot_schedule_iam_binding resource parameters, see the provider documentation.

  2. Create resources:

    1. In the terminal, change to the folder where you edited the configuration file.

    2. Make sure the configuration file is correct using the command:

      terraform validate

      If the configuration is correct, the following message is returned:

      Success! The configuration is valid.

    3. Run the command:

      terraform plan

      The terminal will display a list of resources with parameters. No changes are made at this step. If the configuration contains errors, Terraform will point them out.

    4. Apply the configuration changes:

      terraform apply

    5. Confirm the changes: type yes in the terminal and press Enter.

    Terraform will create all the required resources. You can check the new resources using the management console or this CLI command:

    yc compute snapshot-schedule list-access-bindings <schedule_ID>

Use the updateAccessBindings REST API method for the SnapshotSchedule resource or the SnapshotSchedule/UpdateAccessBindings gRPC API call. In the request body, set the action property to ADD and specify the user type and ID in the subject property.

Assigning multiple roles

  1. In the management console, select the folder the schedule belongs to.
  2. Select Compute Cloud.
  3. In the left-hand panel, select Snapshots.
  4. Go to the Snapshot schedules tab.
  5. Select a schedule from the list.
  6. Go to the Access bindings tab.
  7. Click Assign bindings.
  8. In the window that opens, select a group, user, or service account to be granted access to the schedule.
  9. Click Add role and select the required roles.
  10. To add another role, click Add role.
  11. Click Save.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

You can assign multiple roles using the set-access-bindings command.

Alert

The set-access-bindings command completely rewrites the access permissions for the resource. All current resource roles will be deleted.

  1. Make sure the resource has no roles assigned that you would not want to lose:

    yc compute snapshot-schedule list-access-bindings <schedule_ID>

  2. See the CLI command description for assigning roles for a disk snapshot schedule:

    yc compute snapshot-schedule set-access-bindings --help

  3. Assign roles:

    yc compute snapshot-schedule set-access-bindings <schedule_ID> \
  --access-binding role=<role>,subject=<subject_type>:<subject_ID>

    Where:

    • --access-binding: Role to assign:

      • role: ID of the role to assign.
      • subject: Type and ID of the subject getting the role.

    For example, assign roles to multiple users and a service account:

    yc compute snapshot-schedule set-access-bindings my-schedule \
  --access-binding role=editor,subject=userAccount:gfei8n54hmfh********
  --access-binding role=viewer,subject=userAccount:helj89sfj80a********
  --access-binding role=editor,subject=serviceAccount:ajel6l0jcb9s********

If you don't have Terraform, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

To assign multiple roles for a schedule using Terraform:

  1. In the Terraform configuration file, describe the parameters of the resources you want to create:

    resource "yandex_compute_snapshot_schedule_iam_binding" "role-1" {
  snapshot_schedule_id = "<schedule_ID>"
  role                 = "<role_1>"
  members              = ["<subject_type>:<subject_ID>"]
}

resource "yandex_compute_snapshot_schedule_iam_binding" "role-2" {
  snapshot_schedule_id = "<schedule_ID>"
  role                 = "<role_2>"
  members              = ["<subject_type>:<subject_ID>"]
}

    Where:

    • snapshot_schedule_id: Schedule ID.
    • role: Role to assign.
    • members: List of types and IDs of subjects the roles are assigned to. Specify it as userAccount:<user_ID> or serviceAccount:<service_account_ID>.

    For more information about the yandex_compute_snapshot_schedule_iam_binding resource parameters, see the provider documentation.

  2. Create resources:

    1. In the terminal, change to the folder where you edited the configuration file.

    2. Make sure the configuration file is correct using the command:

      terraform validate

      If the configuration is correct, the following message is returned:

      Success! The configuration is valid.

    3. Run the command:

      terraform plan

      The terminal will display a list of resources with parameters. No changes are made at this step. If the configuration contains errors, Terraform will point them out.

    4. Apply the configuration changes:

      terraform apply

    5. Confirm the changes: type yes in the terminal and press Enter.

    You can check the updates using the management console or this CLI command:

    yc compute snapshot-schedule list-access-bindings <schedule_ID>

Use the setAccessBindings REST API method for the SnapshotSchedule resource or the SnapshotSchedule/SetAccessBindings gRPC API call.

Revoking a role

  1. In the management console, select the folder the schedule belongs to.
  2. Select Compute Cloud.
  3. In the left-hand panel, select Snapshots.
  4. Go to the Snapshot schedules tab.
  5. Select a schedule from the list.
  6. Go to the Access bindings tab.
  7. In the line with the user you need, click and select Edit roles.
  8. Click next to a role to delete it.
  9. Click Save.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

  1. See the CLI command description for revoking a role for a disk snapshot schedule:

    yc compute snapshot-schedule remove-access-binding --help

  2. View the roles and assignees for the resource:

    yc compute snapshot-schedule list-access-bindings <schedule_ID>

  3. To revoke access permissions, run this command:

    yc compute snapshot-schedule remove-access-binding <schedule_ID> \
  --role <role_ID> \
  --subject <subject_type>:<subject_ID>

    Where:

    • --role: ID of the role to revoke.
    • --subject: Subject to revoke the role from.

    For example, this command revokes the viewer role for a schedule from a user with the ajel6l0jcb9s******** ID:

    yc compute snapshot-schedule remove-access-binding my-schedule \
  --role viewer \
  --subject userAccount:ajel6l0jcb9s********

If you don't have Terraform, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

To revoke a role assigned for a disk snapshot schedule using Terraform:

  1. Open the Terraform configuration file and delete the fragment with the role description.

    ...
resource "yandex_compute_snapshot_schedule_iam_binding" "sa-access" {
  snapshot_schedule_id = "<schedule_ID>"
  role                 = "<role>"
  members              = ["<subject_type>:<subject_ID>"]
}

  2. Apply the changes:

    1. In the terminal, change to the folder where you edited the configuration file.

    2. Make sure the configuration file is correct using the command:

      terraform validate

      If the configuration is correct, the following message is returned:

      Success! The configuration is valid.

    3. Run the command:

      terraform plan

      The terminal will display a list of resources with parameters. No changes are made at this step. If the configuration contains errors, Terraform will point them out.

    4. Apply the configuration changes:

      terraform apply

    5. Confirm the changes: type yes in the terminal and press Enter.

    You can check the updates using the management console or this CLI command:

    yc compute snapshot-schedule list-access-bindings <schedule_ID>

To revoke a role for a disk snapshot schedule, use the [updateAccessBindings](../../api-ref/SnapshotSchedule /updateAccessBindings.md) REST API method for the SnapshotSchedule resource or the SnapshotScheduleService/UpdateAccessBindings gRPC API call. In the request body, set the action property to REMOVE and specify the user type and ID in the subject property.
