Access management in Data Transfer
In this section, you will learn:
- Which resources you can assign a role for.
- Which roles exist in the service.
- Which roles are required for particular actions.
To use the service, log in to the management console with a Yandex account or federated account.
Access 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 roles for a resource, you need to have one of the following roles for that resource:
adminresource-manager.adminorganization-manager.adminresource-manager.clouds.ownerorganization-manager.organizations.owner
Which resources you can assign a role for
You can assign a role to an organization, cloud, or folder. The roles assigned to organizations, clouds, and folders also apply to their nested resources.
Which roles exist in the service
The chart below shows service’s roles and their permission inheritance. For example, editor inherits viewer permissions. You can find role descriptions under the chart.
Service roles
data-transfer.auditor
The data-transfer.auditor role allows you to view the service metadata, including the information on the relevant folder, endpoints, and transfers, as well as on Data Transfer quotas.
Currently, this role can only be assigned for working with a folder or a cloud.
data-transfer.viewer
The data-transfer.viewer role allows you to view information on the relevant folder, endpoints, and transfers, as well as on Data Transfer quotas.
This role also includes the data-transfer.auditor permissions.
Currently, this role can only be assigned for working with a folder or a cloud.
data-transfer.privateAdmin
The data-transfer.privateAdmin role allows you to manage endpoints and transfers for transferring data only within Yandex Cloud networks, as well as to view information on the relevant folder and Data Transfer quotas.
Users with this role can:
- View information on transfers, as well as create, modify, delete, activate, use, and deactivate transfers for transferring data within Yandex Cloud networks.
- View information on endpoints, as well as create, modify, and delete endpoints in Yandex Cloud.
- View information on the relevant folder.
- View information on Data Transfer quotas.
This role also includes the data-transfer.viewer permissions.
Currently, this role can only be assigned for working with a folder or a cloud.
data-transfer.admin
The data-transfer.admin role allows you to manage endpoints and transfers for transferring data within Yandex Cloud networks and over the internet, as well as to view information on the relevant folder and Data Transfer quotas.
Users with this role can:
- View information on transfers, as well as create, modify, delete, activate, use, and deactivate transfers for transferring data both within Yandex Cloud networks and over the internet.
- View information on endpoints, as well as create, modify, and delete endpoints both within and outside Yandex Cloud.
- View information on the relevant folder.
- View information on Data Transfer quotas.
This role also includes the data-transfer.privateAdmin permissions.
Currently, this role can only be assigned for working with a folder or a cloud.
Primitive roles
viewer
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.
editor
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.
admin
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.
Roles required
To use the service, you need the editor role or higher for the folder where you want to create Data Transfer resources. With the viewer role, you can only view the list of the projects and the contents of uploaded files.
If you are creating a managed database endpoint for a cluster residing in a different folder, you will need a service or primitive viewer role for that folder.
If you are creating a managed database endpoint for a third-party cluster with internet access, you will need the primitive admin role or the data-transfer.admin service role for the folder where you are creating the endpoint.
You can always assign a role offering more permissions (e.g., admin instead of editor) or assign roles that allow only specific actions. For more information about the roles required to perform particular actions with Data Transfer resources, see this table:
