Platform For AI:Grant the permissions that are required to use Machine Learning Designer

Background information

Authorize the operation account

Machine Learning Designer provides a visualized environment for full-link machine learning development with rich built-in machine learning algorithms. You may need to activate and authorize the following cloud services when you use Machine Learning Designer.

• PAI module: Machine Learning Designer

  Operation account	Service	Reference
  Alibaba Cloud account	You can use an Alibaba Cloud account to perform operations on Machine Learning Designer. No additional authorization is required.	N/A
  RAM user (Recommended)	PAI provides different member roles. You can assume different member roles to the RAM users for convenient permission management. For more information about the permissions of each role, see Appendix: Roles and permissions.	Manage members of a workspace

• Grant your RAM user or RAM role the permissions to access general training resources

  You can use the general computing resources of PAI for AI development.

  We recommend that you use an Alibaba Cloud account to purchase general computing resources. If you want to use a RAM user to purchase resources, the RAM user must be granted AliyunPAIFullAccess permissions.

  To use your RAM user to submit training tasks to DLC resource groups that are associated with a workspace, you must add the RAM user as an Algorithm developer, Algorithm operator, or Admin to the workspace.

• Grant your RAM user or RAM role the permissions to access MaxCompute

  Machine Learning Designer provides hundreds of self-developed algorithms based on the MaxCompute framework. Make sure that you activate MaxCompute before you use these algorithms.

  Scenario	Description	Reference
  Activate MaxCompute	We recommend that you use an Alibaba Cloud account to activate MaxCompute. No additional authorization is required. If you want to activate MaxCompute by using a RAM user, you need to grant the AliyunBSSOrderAccess and AliyunDataWorksFullAccess permissions to the RAM user.	Activation: Activate MaxCompute and DataWorks Authorization: Manage the members of a workspace Common operations: Create a MaxCompute project and Manage the computing resources of a workspace
  Use MaxCompute	You need to add the MaxCompute Developer role to the workspace. For more information, see Add members.

• Grant your RAM user or RAM role the permissions to access OSS

  You need to activate and authorize OSS to use OSS as a data source when you use deep learning algorithm components.

  Scenario	Description	Reference
  Activate OSS	We recommend that you use an Alibaba Cloud account to activate OSS. No additional authorization is required. If you want to use a RAM user to activate OSS, you need to grant the AliyunOSSFullAccess permissions to the RAM user.	Activation: Activate OSS Authorization: Overview of RAM policy Common operations: Create buckets
  Use OSS	Use OSS after activation: Authorization: OSS provides detailed RAM control policies. You can grant permissions to RAM users as needed. Common operations: You need to create a bucket to upload objects to OSS.

  You can create a custom policy to flexibly define the permissions that allow a RAM user to access OSS in the PAI console. To create a policy, perform the following steps.

  1. Log on to the RAM console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Permissions > Policies

  3. On the Policies page, click Create Policy.

  4. On the Create Policy page, click the JSON tab.

  5. Enter the following policy content in the code editor and click OK.

     OSS provides a complete system for data permission management. For more information about how to configure policies in OSS, see RAM policies.

     Important

     We recommend that you follow the principle of the least privilege when you specify the policy content.

     To access OSS in the PAI console, you must have the permissions to perform regular operations, such as the permissions to list the OSS buckets that you are authorized to access and read data from or write data to the OSS buckets. We recommend that you grant permissions on OSS to a RAM user based on the following sample policy content:

     {
       "Version": "1",
       "Statement": [
         {
           "Action": [
             "oss:GetObject",
             "oss:ListObjects",
             "oss:DeleteObject",
             "oss:ListParts",
             "oss:PutObject",
             "oss:AbortMultipartUpload",
             "oss:GetBucketCors",
             "oss:GetBucketCors",
             "oss:DeleteBucketCors"
           ],
           "Resource": [
             "acs:oss:*:*:<yourBucketName>",
             "acs:oss:*:*:<yourBucketName>/*"
           ],
           "Effect": "Allow"
         },
         {
           "Action": [
             "oss:ListBuckets"
           ],
           "Resource": "*",
           "Effect": "Allow"
         }
       ]
     }

     Replace <yourBucketName> in the preceding sample policy content with the name of the OSS bucket that your RAM user is authorized to access.

  6. Specify Name and Note for the policy and click OK.

• Dependent cloud service: Flink

  Machine Learning Designer provides dozens of self-developed algorithms based on the Flink framework. Make sure that you activate Flink before you use these algorithms.

  Scenario	Description	Reference
  Activate Flink	We recommend that you use an Alibaba Cloud account to activate Flink. No additional authorization is required. If you want to activate Flink by using a RAM user, you must grant the AliyunStreamFullAccess permissions to the RAM user.	Activation: Activate Realtime Compute for Apache Flink Authorization: Grant permissions to a RAM user
  Use Flink	Use Flink after activation: Authorization: Flink provides detailed RAM control policies. You can grant permissions to RAM users as needed.

1. Log on to the PAI console.

2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Activation & Authorization > Dependent Services. In the Designer section, find OSS.

3. View the authorization details of OSS in the Actions column.

   • If PAI is not granted the permissions to access OSS, click Authorize Now in the Operation column and grant the permissions to PAI by following the on-screen instructions.

   • If PAI is granted the permissions on OSS, click View authorization information in the Operation column to view the authorization details.
