Usage notes
You need to authorize DMS to access Alibaba Cloud resources only once.
- After you log on to the DMS console and authorize DMS to access Alibaba Cloud resources by using your Alibaba Cloud account, you do not need to authorize DMS again when you log on as a RAM user within your Alibaba Cloud account.
- After you log on to the DMS console and authorize DMS to access Alibaba Cloud resources as a RAM user, the Alibaba Cloud account to which the RAM user belongs and other RAM users within the Alibaba Cloud account are automatically granted permissions to log on to the DMS console.
