ID Verification:Authorize a RAM user to access ID Verification - KYC

Last Updated:Oct 30, 2024

You can use the credentials of a Resource Access Management (RAM) user to access ID Verification - KYC. KYC is short for Know Your Customer. You can create a RAM user and grant the RAM user the permissions to call the ID Verification - KYC API or ID Verification - KYC SDK. You can authorize RAM users only to view the call status. This topic describes how to create a RAM user and grant permissions to the RAM user. This topic also describes how to generate an AccessKey pair to call the ID Verification - KYC API.

Prerequisites

  • ID Verification - KYC is activated for your Alibaba Cloud account. For more information, see Activate ID Verification - KYC.

  • You are allowed to use the Alibaba Cloud account.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the RAM console by using an Alibaba Cloud account or a RAM user who has administrative rights.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Identities > Users.

  3. Optional. Click Create User to create a RAM user.

    If you have created a RAM user, skip this step. For more information, see Create a RAM user.

  4. Grant permissions on ID Verification - KYC to the RAM user.

    Note

    An Alibaba Cloud account has access and control permissions on all Alibaba Cloud resources within the account. If your Alibaba Cloud account is disclosed, security risks may occur. We strongly recommend that you create and grant a RAM user the permissions to use ID Verification - KYC based on the principle of least privilege.

    1. On the Users page, find the RAM user to which you want to grant permissions and click Add Permissions in the Actions column.

    2. In the Select Policy section of the Add Permissions panel, click System Policy and select the policies that you want to attach to the RAM user.

      The following table describes the system policies supported by ID Verification - KYC. You can enter the keyword of a policy name, such as AntCloud, in the search box to find the policy and attach the policy to the RAM user based on your business requirements.
