Enterprise Distributed Application Service:Manage RAM users

Introduction to RAM users

When you use your Alibaba Cloud account on EDAS, you can complete different types of jobs by using different user identities. For example, you can create, start, query, and delete applications as an application administrator. In addition, you can view resources, check application monitoring data, manage alert rules, and manage throttling and degradation rules as an operations administrator. You can allocate different roles and resources to RAM users of an Alibaba Cloud account to complete different types of jobs by using different user identities. This permission management mode is similar to that in Linux. System users can manage permissions of normal users.

Take note of the following rules for RAM users:

• RAM users are created by an Alibaba Cloud account in the RAM console. Validity check is not required for RAM users, but the name of each RAM user must be unique within the Alibaba Cloud account.

• Unlike Alibaba Cloud accounts, RAM users have an independent logon portal https://signin.aliyun.com.

1. Use an Alibaba Cloud account to log on to the RAM console.

2. On the Overview page, click the URL below RAM user logon in the Account Management section.

   Note

   The RAM user logon URL varies with the Alibaba Cloud account.

   Note

   If Required at Next Logon is selected for Password Reset, the RAM user is required to reset the password after its first logon to the console.

5. Log on to the EDAS console as a RAM user.
