CloudSSO:CreateAccessAssignment

Last Updated:Mar 18, 2026

Assigns access permissions on an account in your resource directory to a user or a group by using an access configuration.

Operation description

When you call this operation, an asynchronous task is created. You can call the GetTask operation to query the progress of the task based on the value of the TaskId response parameter.

For more information about how to assign permissions on an account in your resource directory, see Overview of multi-account authorization.

This topic provides an example on how to assign access permissions on the account 114240524784**** in your resource directory to the CloudSSO user u-00q8wbq42wiltcrk**** by using the access configuration ac-00jhtfl8thteu6uj****. After the call is successful, the CloudSSO user can access resources within the account in the resource directory.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
