This topic describes how to authorize Data Management (DMS) to access Alibaba Cloud resources. After DMS is authorized to access Alibaba Cloud resources, you can access Alibaba Cloud resources such as ApsaraDB RDS, MaxCompute, and Object Storage Service (OSS) in DMS. You can also perform operations, such as queries and changes, on these resources.

Prerequisites

An Alibaba Cloud account or a RAM user that has the AdministratorAccess permission is used.

  • 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.
