If you use multiple Tencent Cloud services such as CLB, CVM, and TencentDB that are managed by different users sharing your Tencent Cloud account key, you may face the following problems:
Cloud Access Management (CAM) is used to manage the access permissions to your Tencent Cloud resources. With CAM, you can use the identity management and policy management features to control which Tencent Cloud resources can be accessed by which sub-accounts.
For example, if you have multiple CLB instances under your account that are deployed in different projects, to manage access permissions and authorize resources, you can bind the admin of project A with an authorization policy, which states that only this admin can use the CLB resources under project A.
If you do not need to manage the access permission to CLB resources for sub-accounts, you can skip this chapter. This will not affect your understanding and usage of other parts in the documentation.
The root account authorizes sub-accounts by binding policies. The policy setting can be specific to the level of API, Resource, User/User Group, Allow/Deny, and Condition.
