Access management in Cloud Backup

In this section, you will learn:

• What resources you can assign a role for.
• What roles exist in this service.

Access managementAccess management

Delphi Identity and Access Management checks all operations in Delphi Cloud. If an entity does not have required permissions, this service returns an error.

To grant permissions for a resource, assign the appropriate resource roles to an entity performing operations, such as a Delphi account, service account, federated users, user group, system group, or public group. For more information, see How access management works in Delphi Cloud.

To assign a role for a resource, a user should have the backup.admin role or one of the following roles for that resource:

• admin
• resource-manager.admin
• organization-manager.admin
• resource-manager.clouds.owner
• organization-manager.organizations.owner

Resources you can assign a role forResources you can assign a role for

Using the Delphi Cloud console or the CLI, you can assign a role for a cloud or folder. These assigned roles will also apply to nested resources.

Service rolesService roles

backup.viewerbackup.viewer

The backup.viewer role enables viewing information on virtual machines and BareMetal servers connected to Cloud Backup, on backup policies and backups, as well as on the relevant cloud, folder, and quotas.

Users with this role can:

• View info on the connected backup providers.
• View info on the access permissions granted for the relevant backup policies.
• View info on backup policies and virtual machines and BareMetal servers linked to them.
• View info on the virtual machines and BareMetal servers connected to Cloud Backup.
• View info on backups.
• View info on Cloud Backup quotas.
• View info on the relevant cloud.
• View info on the relevant folder and its statistics.

To assign the backup.viewer role, you need the admin role for the cloud or backup.admin for the folder.

backup.editorbackup.editor

The backup.editor role enables managing the connection of virtual machines and BareMetal servers to Cloud Backup, managing backup policies, making backups, and restoring VMs and BareMetal servers from the existing backups.

Users with this role can:

• View info on connected backup providers, as well as connect providers available in Cloud Backup.
• Create, modify, and delete backup policies, as well as link, unlink, and run them on virtual machines and BareMetal servers.
• View info on the access permissions granted for the relevant backup policies.
• View info on backup policies and virtual machines and BareMetal servers linked to them.
• View info on virtual machines and BareMetal servers connected to Cloud Backup, as well as connect and disconnect VMs and BareMetal servers to and from it.
• View info on backups, as well as delete them and use them to restore VMs and BareMetal servers.
• View info on Cloud Backup quotas.
• View info on the relevant cloud.
• View info on the relevant folder and its statistics.

This role includes the backup.viewer permissions.

To assign the backup.editor role, you need the admin role for the cloud or backup.admin for the folder.

backup.adminbackup.admin

The backup.admin role enables managing backup policies and access to them, managing the connection of virtual machines and BareMetal servers to Cloud Backup, making backups, and restoring VMs and BareMetal servers from the existing backups.

Users with this role can:

• View info on the access permissions granted for the relevant backup policies and modify such permissions.
• View info on connected backup providers, as well as connect providers available in Cloud Backup.
• Create, modify, and delete backup policies, as well as link, unlink, and run them on virtual machines and BareMetal servers.
• View info on backup policies and virtual machines and BareMetal servers linked to them.
• View info on virtual machines and BareMetal servers connected to Cloud Backup, as well as connect and disconnect VMs and BareMetal servers to and from it.
• View info on backups, as well as delete them and use them to restore VMs and BareMetal servers.
• View info on Cloud Backup quotas.
• View info on the relevant cloud.
• View info on the relevant folder and its statistics.

This role includes the backup.editor permissions.

To assign the backup.admin role, you need the admin role for the cloud.

Primitive rolesPrimitive roles

Primitive roles allow users to perform actions in all Delphi Cloud services.

auditorauditor

The auditor role grants a permission to read configuration and metadata of any Delphi Cloud resources without any access to data.

For instance, users with this role can:

• View info on a resource.
• View the resource metadata.
• View the list of operations with a resource.

auditor is the most secure role that does not grant any access to the service data. This role suits the users who need minimum access to the Delphi Cloud resources.

viewerviewer

The viewer role grants the permissions to read the info on any Delphi Cloud resources.

This role includes the auditor permissions.

Unlike auditor, the viewer role provides access to service data in read mode.

editoreditor

The editor role provides permissions to manage any Delphi Cloud resources, except for assigning roles to other users, transferring organization ownership, removing an organization, and deleting Key Management Service encryption keys.

For instance, users with this role can create, modify, and delete resources.

This role includes the viewer permissions.

adminadmin

The admin role enables assigning any roles, except for resource-manager.clouds.owner and organization-manager.organizations.owner, and provides permissions to manage any Delphi Cloud resources (except for transferring organization ownership and removing an organization).

Prior to assigning the admin role for an organization, cloud, or billing account, make sure to check out the information on protecting privileged accounts.

This role includes the editor permissions.

Instead of primitive roles, we recommend using service roles with more granular access control, allowing you to implement the least privilege principle.

For more information about primitive roles, see the Delphi Cloud role reference.
