If you are an admin user and have purchased CVM, VPC, COS, and other Tencent Cloud resources, you can set the Tencent Cloud accounts of other members of your team as collaborators and allow them to access your resources.
This document describes how to use the admin account to create a collaborator in the Cloud Access Management Console and bind the collaborator to a permission policy.
Note
Both collaborators and sub-users are sub-accounts. For definitions and permission descriptions, please refer to User Types.
You already have a Tencent Cloud account that can be set as a collaborator (if not, please register a Tencent Cloud account first).
Operations Guide
1. Log in to the Tencent Cloud console, go to the User List, click Create User to access the Create User page.
2. On the Create User page, click Create a Collaborator.
3. Enter the relevant user information and click Next.
Note
By default, collaborators are allowed to log in to the Tencent Cloud console. You can disable console access in the Security > Console Login Settings on the user details page.
To ensure the security of your account, it is recommended that you enable login and operation protection.
The account ID is a unique identifier in Tencent Cloud. The collaborator you are about to add needs to check it in Account Center - Account Information.
4. To set permissions, you can use one of the following three methods to set permissions for the newly created collaborator. The policy describes the permissions, and the collaborator obtains the permissions described in the policy after the policy is associated.
Add to group to obtain group permissions: Using groups is the best practice for managing user permissions based on job functions. You can obtain permissions through group association. Click Add to group to obtain group permissions, select the required user group, add the collaborator to an existing or newly created user group, and the collaborator can be associated with the policy attached to the group.
Copy Existing User Policy: To associate a collaborator with a policy by copying the permissions of an existing user, click Copy Existing User Policy, select the user whose policy you want to copy, and the collaborator will be associated with the policy attached to the copied user.
To authorize from the policy list, click Select Policies to Associate from the Policy List and select the policies you need to associate.
5. Click Complete to finish creating a new collaborator.
