Guide: Managing Policies
This guide describes how to view and create resource access control policies (Policies) in IAM.
Activation required: The Policies feature must be enabled for your organization by an FPT Cloud System Admin before it can be used. If the Policies menu does not appear in the navigation bar, contact the FPT Cloud team for assistance.
Viewing the Policies List
-
From the left navigation bar, select IAM → Policies.
The policies list page appears.
-
The table includes the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The identifying name of the policy. |
| Apply to | The User Group this policy applies to. |
| Resource type | The type of resource being controlled (e.g., Instance, VPC, Storage). |
| Policy action | The action that is permitted or denied (Allow/Deny). |
| Status | The status: Active or Inactive. |
| Created At | When the policy was created. |
Creating a New Policy
-
On the Policies page, click Create policy.
The policy creation page appears (bound to the currently selected VPC).
-
Fill in the fields:
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Policy name | Yes | The identifying name of the policy. |
| Apply to user group | Yes | The User Group this policy applies to. |
| Resource type | Yes | The type of resource to control access for. |

Note: Policies are created at the VPC level — each policy applies to resources within the specific VPC selected at creation time.
