Configuring VM access permissions
To grant a user, group, or service account access to a VM, assign a role for it.
Assigning a role
- In the management console
, select the folder the VM belongs to. - Select Compute Cloud.
- Select the VM you need.
- Go to
Access bindings. - Click Assign bindings.
- In the window that opens, select a group, user, or service account to be granted access to the VM.
- Click
Add role and select the required roles. - 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.
-
See the CLI command description for assigning a role for a VM:
yc compute instance add-access-binding --help
-
Get a list of VMs in the default folder:
yc compute instance list
Result:
+----------------------+-----------------+---------------+---------+----------------------+ | ID | NAME | ZONE ID | STATUS | DESCRIPTION | +----------------------+-----------------+---------------+---------+----------------------+ | fhm0b28lgfp4******** | first-instance | ru-central1-a | RUNNING | my first vm via CLI | | fhm9gk85nj7g******** | second-instance | ru-central1-a | RUNNING | my second vm via CLI | +----------------------+-----------------+---------------+---------+----------------------+
-
View the list of roles already assigned for the resource:
yc compute instance list-access-bindings <VM_name_or_ID>
-
Assign the role using the command:
-
To a user:
yc compute instance add-access-binding <VM_name_or_ID> \ --user-account-id <user_ID> \ --role <role>
Where:
-
To a service account:
yc compute instance add-access-binding <VM_name_or_ID> \ --service-account-id <service_account_ID> \ --role <role>
Where:
--service-account-id
: Service account ID.--role
: Role being assigned.
-
Use the updateAccessBindings REST API method for the Instance resource or the InstanceService/UpdateAccessBindings gRPC API call. In the request body, specify ADD
in the action
property, and user type and ID in the subject
property.
Assign multiple roles
- In the management console
, select the folder the VM belongs to. - Select Compute Cloud.
- Select the VM you need.
- Go to
Access bindings. - Click Assign bindings.
- In the window that opens, select a group, user, or service account to be granted access to the VM.
- Click
Add role and select the required roles. - Use the Add role button to add another role.
- 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.
-
Make sure the resource has no roles assigned that you would rather not lose:
yc compute instance list-access-bindings <VM_name_or_ID>
-
See the CLI command description for assigning roles for a VM:
yc compute instance set-access-bindings --help
-
Assign roles:
yc compute instance set-access-bindings <VM_name_or_ID> \ --access-binding role=<role>,subject=<subject_type>:<subject_ID>
Where:
-
--access-binding
: Assigned role:role
: Assigned role ID.subject
: Type and ID of the subject getting the role.
For example, assign roles to multiple users and a service account:
yc compute instance set-access-bindings test-vm \ --access-binding role=editor,subject=userAccount:gfei8n54hmfh******** --access-binding role=viewer,subject=userAccount:helj89sfj80a******** --access-binding role=editor,subject=serviceAccount:ajel6l0jcb9s********
-
Use the setAccessBindings REST API method for the Instance resource or the InstanceService/SetAccessBindings gRPC API call.
Revoking a role
- In the management console
, select the folder the VM belongs to. - Select Compute Cloud.
- Select the VM you need.
- Go to
Access bindings. - In the line of the required user, click
and select Edit roles. - Click
next to a role to delete it. - 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.
-
See the CLI command description for revoking a role for a VM:
yc compute instance remove-access-binding --help
-
View the roles and assignees for the resource:
yc compute instance list-access-bindings <VM_name_or_ID>
-
To delete an access binding, run:
yc compute instance remove-access-binding <VM_name_or_ID> \ --role <role_ID> \ --subject <subject_type>:<subject_ID>
Where:
--role
: ID of the role to be revoked.--subject
: Subject to revoke the role from.
For example, to revoke the
viewer
role for a VM from a user with theajel6l0jcb9s********
ID:yc compute instance remove-access-binding test-vm \ --role viewer \ --subject userAccount:ajel6l0jcb9s********
To revoke instance roles, use the updateAccessBindings REST API method for the Instance resource or the InstanceService/UpdateAccessBindings gRPC API call. In the request body, specify REMOVE
in the action
property, and user type and ID in the subject
property.
