Attaching Your New Policy to an IAM User Account

Attaching Your New Policy to an IAM User Account

Now that you've created your IAM policy, it's time to assign it to an IAM user account. This will grant the user the permissions defined in the policy.

Prerequisites

  • You have already created an IAM user account.
  • You have created the IAM policy you want to attach.

Steps 1: Access the IAM Console

Navigate to the IAM section at: https://iam.console.greennode.ai/

Step 2: Locate Your Policy

  1. Click on "Policies" in the left menu.
  2. Find the policy you want to attach in the list of policies.
  3. Click on the policy name to open its details page.

Step 3: Attach the Policy to a User

  1. On the policy details page, click the "Policy usage" tab.
  2. Click the "Attach" button. A popup window will appear.
  3. In the popup, click the "User" tab.
  4. Select the IAM user account(s) you want to attach the policy to.
  5. Click the "Add" button to confirm the attachment.

Step 4: Verification

After attaching the policy, you can verify that it's applied to the user by:
  1. Going to the "Users" section in the IAM console.
  2. Selecting the user and clicking the "Permissions" tab.
  3. You should see the newly attached policy listed under the user's permissions.
Important Notes:
  • Immediate Effect: The policy's permissions will take effect immediately after you attach it to the user account.
  • Multiple Policies: You can attach multiple policies to a single user account. The user's effective permissions will be the combination of all attached policies.
  • Policy Updates: If you update a policy that is attached to a user account, the changes will automatically apply to the user.
  • Detaching Policies: You can remove a policy from a user account by following similar steps and clicking the "Detach" button instead of "Attach."
