About IAM Policy

Introduction to identity access management (IAM) policy.

An identity is an entity such as a user, a group or a role. A policy that defines the permissions on Data Fabric resources such as volumes, buckets, and database tables can be tagged to an identity.

An identity policy could apply to:

  • one or more resources from multiple clusters

  • multi modal resources (volumes/objects/tables)

All resources in a fabric must be represented with consistent naming scheme that is known as Unique Resource Name (URN) to uniquely locate/identify a specific resource.

As a fabric manager, you can create IAM policies by using the Data Fabric UI.
