Serverless Containers uses roles to manage access rights.

In this section, you will learn:

  • Which resources you can assign a role for.
  • Which roles exist in the service.

Access managementAccess management

Yandex Identity and Access Management checks all operations 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.

Roles for a resource can be assigned by users who have the serverless-containers.admin role or one of the following roles for that resource:

  • admin
  • resource-manager.admin
  • organization-manager.admin
  • resource-manager.clouds.owner
  • organization-manager.organizations.owner

Which resources you can assign a role forWhich 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.

To assign a role for a container, use the Yandex Cloud CLI, API, or Terraform.

Which roles exist in the serviceWhich roles exist in the service

The list below shows all roles considered when verifying access permissions in Serverless Containers.

Users with this role can:

  • View info on containers, including the revision environment variables.
  • View info on granted access permissions to containers.
  • View info on the relevant cloud.
  • View info on the relevant folder.

This role also includes the serverless-containers.auditor permissions.

serverless-containers.editorserverless-containers.editor

The serverless-containers.editor role enables managing containers and viewing info on them, as well as on the relevant cloud and folder.

Users with this role can:

  • Create, invoke, modify, and delete containers.
  • View info on containers, including the revision environment variables, as well as on the granted access permissions to containers.
  • View info on the relevant cloud.
  • View info on the relevant folder.

This role also includes the serverless-containers.viewer permissions.

serverless-containers.adminserverless-containers.admin

The serverless-containers.admin role enables managing containers and access to them, as well as viewing info on containers and the relevant cloud and folder.

Users with this role can:

  • View info on granted access permissions to containers and modify such permissions.
  • View info on containers, including the revision environment variables.
  • View info on the relevant cloud.
  • View info on the relevant folder.

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 also 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 also 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 also 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 about primitive roles, see the Yandex Cloud role reference.
