Enter the requested settings:

  • Policy name: Choose a name.
  • Description: Enter a description for your policy.
  • Product types: Hosted private cloud powered by VMware / VMware Service Pack.
  • Resources: Add the resources concerned by your policy (pcc-XX-XX-XX-XX/servicepack, pcc-XX-XX-XX-XX, etc.)
  • Actions: This is where you add your role (see below).

Adding an IAM role to a global policy

When enabling IAM in vSphere, two roles are added by default (iam-admin, iam-auditor).

Copy the roles from the code section below, paste them into the field labeled "Actions added manually" under the “Actions” section, then click the Add + button.

pccVMware:vSphere:assumeRole?iam-admin
pccVMware:vSphere:assumeRole?iam-auditor

If you have created an additional IAM role (after following the steps in the guide “IAM for VMware on OVHcloud - How to create an IAM vSphere role”), you can also add it by copying the code below and adapting it to your role:

pccVMware:vSphere:assumeRole?{role_name}
IAM ACTION ADD

Be sure to click the Add + button to add the action.

Finally, click Create policy (or Modify policy if applicable).
