If you have multiple users managing the APM service, and they all share your Tencent Cloud account access key, you may face the following problems:
Your key will be easily compromised because it is shared by several users.
You cannot restrict the access from other users and your service will be vulnerable to the security risks caused by their maloperations.
You can avoid the above problems by allowing different users to manage different services through sub-accounts. By default, sub-accounts have no permissions to use APM. Therefore, you need to create a policy to grant different permissions to sub-accounts.

Overview

Cloud Access Management (CAM) is a Tencent Cloud web service that helps you securely manage and control access to your Tencent Cloud resources. CAM allows you to create, manage, or terminate users (groups), and control who have access to which Tencent Cloud resources based on identity and policy management.
When using CAM, you can associate a policy with a user or user group to allow or forbid them to use specified resources to complete specified tasks. For more information on CAM policies, see Syntax Logic. For more information on how to use CAM policies, see Concepts.

Authorization method

APM supports two authorization methods: resource-level authorization and authorization by tag.
Resource-level authorization: You can use policy syntax or the default policy to grant sub-accounts permissions to manage individual resources. For more information, see Policy Syntax and Granting Policy.
Authorization by tag: You can tag resources and grant sub-accounts permissions to manage resources with particular tags. For more information, see Resource Tag.
You can skip this section if you don't need to manage permissions of APM resources for sub-accounts. This won't affect your understanding and use of the other sections of the document.
