Permissions

Permission Description

Permissions are user management and cloud service management permissions. User management involves creating, deleting, and modifying users and granting permissions to users. Cloud service management involves creating, viewing, modifying, and deleting resources of cloud services. After granting user management and cloud service management permissions to a user group, the users added to the user group can inherit permissions of the user group. User group-specific permissions simplify permission management.
