Creating Sub-User
Last updated: 2024-01-23 17:35:43

Overview

If you are a sub-account with admin permissions (AdministratorAccess) or full access to CAM (QcloudCamFullAccess) and have purchased CVM, VPC, COS, and other Tencent Cloud resources, you can create one or more sub-accounts for your team members and allow them to access your resources.
This document describes how to use the admin account to create a sub-user in the CAM console and bind the sub-user to a permission policy.
