Before a RAM user uses the access log function, the RAM user must be authorized by the corresponding Alibaba Cloud account.

Prerequisites

The account has enabled the access log function.
  1. Log on to the RAM console by using the credentials of your account.
  2. Click Roles to see whether the account has the AliyunLogArchiveRole.

    If the account does not have this role, log on to the SLB console by using the credentials of the account, select Logs > Access Logs, click Authorize. In the displayed dialog box, click Confirm Authorization Policy.

    Note This operation is required only at the first time.
