Last Updated:Jan 12, 2024

An access configuration is a configuration template that is used by CloudSSO users to access the accounts in a resource directory. The template contains permission configurations. You can use this template to assign access permissions on the accounts in your resource directory to CloudSSO users. This topic describes how to create an access configuration.

    • Access Configuration Name: required. The name of the access configuration, which must be unique within the directory.

    • Session Duration: optional. The duration of a session in which a CloudSSO user accesses an account in your resource directory by using the access configuration. Unit: seconds. Valid values: 900 to 43200 (15 minutes to 12 hours). Default value: 3600 (1 hour).

    • Relay State: optional. The initial web page displayed after a CloudSSO user uses the access configuration to access an account in your resource directory. The web page must be a page of the Alibaba Cloud Management Console. By default, this parameter is empty, which indicates that the initial web page is the homepage of the Alibaba Cloud Management Console.
