How to Enable User Rights to Access OVHcloud Control Panel through SSO

This guide explains how to provide a user with the minimum rights to allow them to log in to the OVHcloud Control Panel.

Requirements

• An OVHcloud account
• Knowing how to manage account users
• Knowing how to set up policies for IAM

Instructions

To be able to log in to the OVHcloud Control Panel, a user should have at least this set of rights on the account resource:

• account:apiovh:me/get
• account:apiovh:me/supportLevel/get
• account:apiovh:me/certificates/get
• account:apiovh:me/tag/get

With these rights, a user will be able to log in to the OVHcloud Control Panel. To be able to perform any actions inside the Control Panel additional rights have to be assigned through IAM.

Using UI

Using the UI, you can set up a policy with the following configuration:

• Add a resourceType "OVHcloud customer account".
• Add your account as a resource.
• Add the 4 rights listed above as an action.

You can now link your users to this policy to give them the right to log in to the OVHcloud Control Panel.

Using API

Using the API, you can set up a policy according to the following example:

{
  "name": "manager_ro",
  "description": "manager_ro",
  "identities": [
    .... 
  ],
  "resources": [ 
     {
         "urn": "urn:v1:eu:resource:account:xx1111-ovh" 
     }],
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      {
        "action": "account:apiovh:me/get"
      },
      {
        "action": "account:apiovh:me/supportLevel/get"
      },
      {
        "action": "account:apiovh:me/certificates/get"
      },
      {
        "action": "account:apiovh:me/tag/get"
      }
    ]
  }
}
