3.1. IBM Cloud IAM

With IBM Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM), you can authenticate users and control access to resources.

If needed, you can also configure resource groups to control access to multiple resources at once.

To configure ZCP/ZDB, you need to add a ZCP/ZDB Admin user.

You can find the method for inviting (adding) users at the following URL.

Input content
[User]

[Access ]

Grant access to the following target: Resource Group
Resource Group: Default (If a separate resource group has been created, select that resource group)
Grant access to the resource group: Administrator

[Classic Infrastructure Access]

Please make sure the user invitation has been correctly sent.

To install ZCP/ZDB, you need to configure access permissions for the ZCP/ZDB Admin account to the following resources.

You can check the configuration method at the URL below (Access to resources).
