API
  1. Log in to Yandex Identity Hub using an administrator or organization owner account.

  2. In the left-hand panel, select Access bindings.

  3. At the top right, click Assign roles.

  4. Select the user you want to assign as an administrator. If required, use the search bar.

  5. Click Add role and select organization-manager.admin.

  6. Click Save.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

  1. Get the user ID.

  2. Assign a role using this command:

    yc organization-manager organization add-access-binding <organization_name_or_ID> \
      --role <role_ID> \
      --subject userAccount:<user_ID>
    

    Where:

    • --role: Role ID. Specify the organization-manager.admin role.
    • --subject: User ID.

    For example, this command assigns the administrator role for the organization with the bpf3crucp1v2******** ID:

    yc organization-manager organization add-access-binding bpf3crucp1v2******** \
      --role organization-manager.admin \
      --subject userAccount:aje6o61dvog2********
    

If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

To manage infrastructure using Terraform under a service account or user accounts (a Yandex account, a federated account, or a local user), authenticate using the appropriate method.

  1. Describe the parameters of the roles you assign in the configuration file:

    resource "yandex_organizationmanager_organization_iam_binding" "org_admin_role" {
      organization_id = "<organization_ID>"
      role = "<role_ID>"
      members = [
        "userAccount:<user_ID>",
      ]
    }
    

    Where:

    • organization_id: Organization ID.
    • role: Specify the organization-manager.admin role. For each role, you can only use one yandex_organization manager_organization_iam_binding resource.
    • userAccount:<user_ID>: ID of the user Yandex account.

    For more information about the resources you can create with Terraform, see this provider guide.

  2. Create the resources:

    1. In the terminal, navigate to the configuration file directory.

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

      terraform validate
      

      If the configuration is valid, you will get this message:

      Success! The configuration is valid.
      
    3. Run this command:

      terraform plan
      

      You will see a list of resources and their properties. No changes will be made at this step. Terraform will show any errors in the configuration.

    4. Apply the configuration changes:

      terraform apply
      
    5. Type yes and press Enter to confirm the changes.

The user will thus be assigned the organization administrator role. You can check the role in the Cloud Center interface.

Use the REST API method updateAccessBindings for the Organization resource or the gRPC API call OrganizationService/UpdateAccessBindings and provide the following in the request:

  • The organization-manager.admin role ID in the roleId parameter for REST API or role_id for gRPC API.
  • User ID and type in the subject section.
