Data Transmission Service:Authorize a RAM user to track data changes by using DTS SDKs

Prerequisites

A RAM user is authorized to access the cloud resources such as ApsaraDB for RDS instances and Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances of the current Alibaba Cloud account. When you configure a DTS task as the RAM user, DTS is allowed to access the relevant cloud resource information. For more information, see Authorize DTS to access Alibaba Cloud resources.

Permission policies

DTS supports read/write and read-only policies.

• Read/write policy: AliyunDTSFullAccess

  This policy grants the read and write permissions on DTS. If this policy is attached to a RAM user, the RAM user can purchase, configure, and manage DTS instances.

• Read-only policy: AliyunDTSReadOnlyAccess This policy grants the read permissions on DTS. If this policy is attached to a RAM user, the RAM user can view the details and configurations of all DTS tasks within the Alibaba Cloud account. However, the RAM user cannot perform change operations on these DTS tasks.

  Note

  Change operations include the purchase, configuration, and management of DTS instances.
