Cloud Monitor (CM) allows a root account to grant a sub-account access permissions via Cloud Access Management (CAM). This document describes how to manage access permissions for a sub-account.

Feature Overview

By default, a root account is the resource owner and has full access to all resources in the account. A sub-account has no access to any resources. The root account must grant a sub-account access permissions for it to access resources. You can use your root account to log in to the CAM console and grant a sub-account access permissions. For more information, see Authorization Management.

CM policies depend on the policies of other Tencent Cloud services. When you grant CM permissions to a sub-account, the corresponding cloud service permissions must also be granted for CM permissions to take effect.

Note：

• Permissions: allow or deny operations to access specific resources under certain conditions.
• Policies: syntax rules used to define and describe one or more permissions.
