Authorization information

The following table shows the authorization information corresponding to the API. The authorization information can be used in the Action policy element to grant a RAM user or RAM role the permissions to call this API operation. Description:

Operation: the value that you can use in the Action element to specify the operation on a resource.
Access level: the access level of each operation. The levels are read, write, and list.
Resource type: the type of the resource on which you can authorize the RAM user or the RAM role to perform the operation. Take note of the following items:
- The required resource types are displayed in bold characters.
- If the permissions cannot be granted at the resource level, All Resources is used in the Resource type column of the operation.
Condition Key: the condition key that is defined by the cloud service.
Associated operation: other operations that the RAM user or the RAM role must have permissions to perform to complete the operation. To complete the operation, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform the associated operations.

The billing of the instance continues after the instance is stopped, and resources are retained for the instance. StopCharging: The instance is stopped in economical mode. The billing of some resources of the instance stops after the instance is stopped. When the instance is stopped, its resources such as vCPUs, memory, and public IP address are released. The instance may be unable to start again if some required resources are out of stock in the current region. Not-applicable: The instance does not support economical mode.	KeepCharging
