Cloud Governance Center:Configure identities and permissions

Last Updated:Jun 24, 2026

Plan your identity and permission management strategy before migrating to the cloud to reduce security risks and simplify multi-account operations. Agentic Cloud Governance Center provides a guided wizard to configure identities and permissions across member accounts in your resource directory, along with predefined access configuration templates and governance baselines based on best practices.

Background information

CloudSSO integrates with Alibaba Cloud Resource Directory for centralized multi-account identity management and access control. Configure once to manage identities and permissions across multiple accounts. We recommend CloudSSO for identity and permission management. For more information, see What is CloudSSO?

Initialize identities and permissions

  1. Log on to the Agentic Cloud Governance Center console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Landing Zone > LandingZone Setup.

  3. In the Standard Blueprint or Standard Blueprint (CEN) section, click Build.

    This example uses a standard blueprint.

  4. In the Added Items section of the Configure Blueprint page, click CloudSSO.

    Note

    If the item is not in the Added Items section, click Add Item, select it, and click Add.

  5. Configure CloudSSO parameters.

    1. In the Basic Information section, configure the following parameters:

      • Region

        Select a region close to your business data for data security. For more information, see Create a CloudSSO directory.

      • Catalog Name

        Must be globally unique. Prefix with your enterprise name to avoid conflicts.

      • Logon Timeout

        Maximum duration a CloudSSO user can access an account through access configurations. Valid values: 3600–43200 seconds (1–12 hours). Default: 3600 (1 hour).

    2. In the Access Configuration Template section, view the predefined access configuration template.

      Agentic Cloud Governance Center provides the following predefined access configurations based on best practices. These are automatically provisioned in CloudSSO and can be bound to specified accounts.
