This topic describes how to grant permissions to an Alibaba Cloud account or a RAM user to perform operations such as draft development.
Background information
- Fully managed Flink allows you to authorize other Alibaba Cloud accounts or RAM users to use the fully managed Flink service. If an Alibaba Cloud account or a RAM user is not granted the permissions to use fully managed Flink by the Alibaba Cloud account that purchases the fully managed Flink service, the Namespace List page is empty after you log on to the console of fully managed Flink by using the Alibaba Cloud account or as a RAM user. As a result, you cannot perform operations such as draft development.
- The features that an Alibaba Cloud account or a RAM user can use vary based on the role that is assigned to the Alibaba Cloud account or RAM user. The following table describes the features that are supported by different roles.
Feature Owner Editor viewer View deployments Y Y Y Start and cancel a deployment Y Y N Modify deployment configurations Y Y N View resources Y Y Y Upload resources Y Y N Write SQL statements Y Y N Create a user-defined function (UDF) Y Y N Register metadata Y Y N View a deployment template Y Y Y Add, delete, and modify a deployment template Y N N Manage members of a workspace Y N N
Grant permissions to the synchronization account
- Create an Alibaba Cloud account or a RAM user.
- Go to the Sign up to Alibaba Cloud page and enter the information of the Alibaba Cloud account that you want to create.
- For more information about how to create a RAM user, see Create a RAM user.
- Grant permissions to the Alibaba Cloud account or RAM user in the console of fully managed Flink.
- Log on to the console of fully managed Flink by using the newly created Alibaba Cloud account or as a RAM user. For more information about how to log on to the Alibaba Cloud Management Console as a RAM user, see Log on to the Alibaba Cloud Management Console as a RAM user.Important If you have logged on to the console of fully managed Flink by using the newly created Alibaba Cloud account or as a RAM user, you must log on to the console again by using the Alibaba Cloud account or as a RAM user after the Alibaba Cloud account or RAM user is authorized to use fully managed Flink. Otherwise, you cannot view project information.
