Granting administration permissions to a user or service ID 

IBM Cloud® Identity and Access Management (IAM) enables you to securely authenticate users and control access to all cloud resources consistently in the IBM Cloud. Complete the following steps to grant a user or service ID administration permissions to work with the IBM Log Analysis service:

For example, as an administrator of the service, you can provison and remove instances of the service, grant other users permissions to work with the service, archive logs to an IBM Cloud Object Storage (COS) instance, and more. [Learn more](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/services/activity-tracker?topic=activity-tracker-iamiam).



 Prerequisites 

Your user ID needs administrator platform permissions to manage the IBM Log Analysis service. Contact the account administrator. The account owner can grant another user access to the account for the purposes of managing user access, and managing account resources. [Learn more](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-userroles).





 Step 1. Create an access group 

Complete the following steps to create an access group:



1. From the menu bar, click Manage > Access (IAM), and select Access Groups.
2. Click Create.
3. Enter a name and optional description for your group, and click Create.



You can delete a group by selecting the Remove group option. When you remove a group from the account, you are removing all users and service IDs from the group and all access that is assigned to the group.

To create an access group by using the CLI, you can use the [ibmcloud iam access-group-create](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cli?topic=cli-ibmcloud_commands_iamibmcloud_iam_access_group_policy_create) command.

ibmcloud iam access-group-create GROUP_NAME [-d, --description DESCRIPTION]





 Step 2. Add permissions to manage events 

After you set up your group, you can assign a common access policy to the group.
Select IAM services.
5. In the section What type of access do you want to assign?, select IBM Cloud Activity Tracker.
6. In the section Which services do you want to assign access to?, complete the following steps:



1. Select Services based on attributes to refine the scope of the policy. Choose 1 of the following options:

Option 1: Set the scope to 1 instance in a resource group. Select Resource group to choose the resource group. Then select Service Instance to choose the instance within the resource group.

Option 2: Set the scope to 1 instance. Select Service Instance to choose the instance.
2. Select a logGroup.



7. Select a service role. The service role defines the permissions a user has to view and manage resources in that group.



* Select standard-member to grant permissions to create views, alerts and more.
* Select reader to grant permissions to view data only.



[Learn more about the roles that you need](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/activity-tracker?topic=activity-tracker-iam).
8. Click Assign.









 Step 4. Add a user or service ID to the access group 

You can add users or service IDs to an existing access group.



 Add a user to the access group 

Complete the following steps to add a user:



1. From the menu bar, click Manage > Access (IAM), and select Access Groups.
2. Select the name of the group that you want to assign access to.
3. Click Add users on the Users tab.
4. Select the users that you want to add from the list, and click Add to group.







 Add a service ID to the access group 

Complete the following steps to add a service ID:



1. From the menu bar, click Manage > Access (IAM), and select Access Groups.
2. Select the name of the group that you want to assign access to.
3. Click the Service IDs tab, and click Add service ID.
4.
Locating an IAM account administrator 

Use IBM Cloud® Identity and Access Management (IAM) to define users for platform services and to control user access to resources across IBM Cloud. For more information about user roles (Viewer, Editor, Operator, and Administrator), see the [Platform management roles and permissions table](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vmwaresolutions?topic=vmwaresolutions-iamiam-roles-table).

You must have an IAM account administrator role to complete various tasks. For example, setting account credentials and granting platform access to users.

If you do not have an administrator role and you want to complete a task that requires the administrator role, you can locate someone with that role. The person that you located can then assign access. For more information about what an account administrator can do, see [IAM access](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-userrolesuserroles).



 Locating an account owner with the administrator role 

To identify an account owner who has the administrator role, complete the following steps:



1. Log in to [IBM Cloud](https://cloud.ibm.com).
2. On the upper right of the window, select the IBM Cloud account that you want to use.
3. Click Manage > Access (IAM).
4. From the left navigation pane, click Users.
5. Scroll down through the list until you find a name with an owner tag next to the user's name, which indicates that the user is an account administrator.
6. Write down the name of this user.



If the owner that you identified is not available or has left the company, find one or more other users with the administrator role. Consider who might be assigned the role, for example, a manager, team lead, or someone who works directly with IBM Cloud customers.

To locate a user with an administrator role, click the name link and review the information on the Access tab. Look for the following values:



* Service - VMware Solutions
* Resources - All
* Role - Administrator

Managing events from log in actions in an account 

As a security officer, auditor, or manager, you can use the IBM Cloud Activity Tracker service to track how users, applications, and services interact with your account. The IBM Cloud® Identity and Access Management (IAM) service in IBM Cloud generates events that you can use to monitor log in activity to your account. This tutorial explains the different log in options to IBM Cloud and what happens from an IAM and an IBM Cloud Activity Tracker perspective. You can also find out how to define views and dashboards to monitor these actions in your account.

To work in the IBM Cloud, a user, an application, or a service must log in to IBM Cloud. The user, application, or service needs valid credentials to access an account and run actions on services in that account.

As a user, you can log in to the IBM Cloud in any of the following ways:



* Log in through the IBM Cloud UI
* Log in from the command-line interface (CLI) by using an API key
* Log in from the command-line interface (CLI) by using a one-time passcode
* Log in from the command-line interface (CLI) by using a user ID and password



As a service, you log in to the IBM Cloud by using an API key that is associated to a service ID.

If you are a new user of the IBM Cloud, [you must request an IBMid](https://cloud.ibm.com/login). When you register to work in the IBM Cloud, you get an IBMid, and an account is created and associated to your IBMid.

Once you have registered to IBM Cloud, you can be invited to be a member in other accounts in IBM Cloud. When you are invited to work in an account that is different from the default account that is associated with your IBMid, an event with action user-management.user.create is generated and available in the account where you are invited to work. Users in the account with permissions to monitor Activity Tracker Event Routing events can monitor these events through the IBM Cloud Activity Tracker instance in Frankfurt (eu-de).

For a user to log in successfully to your account:



1.
3. Copy the IAM token from the access_token field in the response.
4. Select a region. Learn more about the [available regions](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/appid?topic=appid-regions-endpoints).
5. Insert the IAM token, the tenant ID, and the user ID, into the following command to obtain the user information.

curl -X GET
--header 'Accept: application/json'
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <IAMToken>' 'https://<region>.appid.cloud.ibm.com/<tenantID>/cloud_directory/Users/<userID>'

You can also run this command by using the [management APIs](https://us-south.appid.cloud.ibm.com/swagger-ui//Config/getAuditStatus). Your output would look similar to the following JSON object:

{
"displayName": "test test",
"active": true,

Make sure your ID has the User API key creator permission enabled for the IAM service as described [here.](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-allow-api-create)
* How can I determine the version of the logging agent that is installed?

The logging agent version that is installed is returned by running logdna-agent -V. You might need to run this command from the directory where the agent is installed.
* Can I control the ingested log lines so I can control my service cost?

You can control the volume of log lines that you ingest. Controlling the log lines helps you control your Log Analysis service cost. Logs that are filtered out (excluded) are not archived and are not available for search. You do not pay for log lines that are filtered out.

There are different ways in which you can filter out logs sent to Log Analysis:



* You can [configure the agent to drop logs](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/log-analysis?topic=log-analysis-exclude_logs_from_agent) before sending them to the Log Analysis service.
* If you send logs to the Log Analysis service, you can define [exclusion rules](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/log-analysis?topic=log-analysis-exclusion_rules) to drop logs before they are stored for search.



* You can drop the log lines entirely and not see them at all through the UI.
* You can view the log lines in the UI, but you cannot search on them. However, you can define views and alerts based on the data from these logs.



* You can also configure [usage quotas](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/log-analysis?topic=log-analysis-control_usage_quotas) and define conditional usage quota exclusion rules.





Monitoring



* Where can I find the list of Cloud services that generate metrics?

You can find information about the services that generate metrics in the following documentation topic: [Cloud services](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/monitoring?topic=monitoring-cloud_services).
Next time you change an IAM configuration setting, you will get an event with action iam-identity.accountsettings.migrate that informs you that IAM account settings are reported by the IAM Identity service in your account. If you monitor changes to IAM account settings, you might need to migrate your resources to monitor iam-identity.accountsettings.update events.

The following table lists the actions that are generated when an account setting that is controlled from the Manage > Access IAM > Settings dashboard is modified:



Table 9. Actions that generate events when the account settings are changed

 Action Description 

 iam-identity.accountsettings.update An event is generated when an initiator modifies 1 or more of the following account settings: Multifactor authentication (MFA), Restrict API key creation, Restrict service ID creation, and Restrict IP address access. 
 iam-groups.account-settings.update An event is generated when an initiator modifies the account setting Public access group. 
 billing.account-traits.update An event is generated when an initiator modifies the account setting Restrict user list visibility. 



The following table lists the requestData fields that report the configuration changes:



Table 10. Actions that generate events when the account settings are changed

 Action Description 

 requestData.public_access_enabled Reports the boolean value that is set when the Public access group setting is modified. 
 requestData.request_body.old_mfa_traits Reports the original value for the Multifactor authentication (MFA) setting. Valid values are NONE, TOTP, TOTP4ALL, LEVEL1, LEVEL2, LEVEL3<br><br>This field is set to NONE when MFA is not enabled in the account, and all users log in by using a standard ID and password.<br><br>This field is set to TOTP when the account requires MFA for non-federated users only users with an IBMid.
This way, federated users can be mapped to one or more trusted profiles during login by evaluating SAML-based attributes to determine which profiles they can apply. Using trusted profiles for compute resources helps you avoid storing credentials to run applications and the management and rotation of credentials. You can also add trusted profiles to access groups to leverage the set of policies you have already created.
* Assign access by using a group of services so that you need only a single policy to assign access to multiple services. This way, you decrease the number of policies in your account and reduce the time and effort to manage access.



* All Identity and Access enabled services: All catalog services that use IAM for access management.
* All Account Management services: Platform services, such as billing and usage, license and entitlements, enterprises, and more. For more information, see [Assigning access to account management services](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-account-services&interface=uiaccount-management-actions-roles).
* All IAM Account Management services: A subset of account management services that includes the IAM platform services IAM Identity, IAM Access Management, IAM Users, IAM Groups, and future IAM services.





Removing access for inactive identities and inactive policies can reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your IBM Cloud resources and help you manage access more efficiently. For more information, see [Identifying inactive identities](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-id-inactive-identities) and [Auditing access policies](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-iam-audit-policies).





 What makes a good access group strategy? 

An access group is an organization of users, service IDs, and trusted profiles in a grouping that you can grant the same IAM access. All identities in a single access group inherit the same access.

A logical way to assign access to your resource groups and the included resources is by [creating one access group](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-groups) per required level of access. Then, you can map each access group to the previously created resource groups.
Managing IAM policies and access groups 

You can use IBM Cloud® Identity and Access Management (IAM) to securely authenticate users and control access to all cloud resources consistently in the IBM Cloud.

For more information, see [Managing IAM policies and access groups](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/log-analysis?topic=log-analysis-work_iam).



 Granting permissions to a user to become an administrator of the service in the IBM Cloud account 

As the account owner or as an IBM Log Analysis service administrator, you must have permissions to run the following actions:



* Grant other account members access to work with the service
* Provision a service instance
* Delete a service instance
* View details of a service instance
* Create a service ID



Therefore, to grant a user administrator role to manage the service in the account, the user must have an IAM policy for the IBM Log Analysis service with the platform role Administrator. You must assign this user access to an individual resource in the account.

Complete the following steps to assign a user administrator role to the IBM Log Analysis service in the account:



1. From the menu bar, click Manage > Access (IAM), and then select Users.
2. From the row for the user that you want to assign access, select the Actions menu, and then click Assign access.
3. Select Assign access to resources.
4. Select IBM Log Analysis.
5. Select All current regions.
6. Select All current service instances.
7. Select the platform role Administrator.
8. Click Assign.







 Granting permissions to a user to become an administrator of the service within a resource group 

As an IBM Log Analysis service administrator, you must have permissions to run the following actions:



* Grant other account members access to work with the service
* Provision a service instance
* Delete a service instance
* View details of a service instance
* Create a service ID



Therefore, to grant a user administrator role to manage instances within a resource group in the account, the user must have an IAM policy for the IBM Log Analysis service with the platform role Administrator within the context of the resource group.

}

For more information about trusted profiles, see [Using a trusted profile to call IAM-enabled services](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vpc?topic=vpc-imd-trusted-profile-metadata).





 Create a trusted profile for the instance 

Trusted profiles for compute resource identities help you assign an IBM Cloud® IAM identity to an IBM Cloud® resource, such as a virtual server instance. You can call any IAM-enabled service from an instance without having to manage and distribute IAM secrets to the instance. You can create a trusted profile when you generate an IAM token from an instance identity access token and link it to the instance. For more information, see [Using a trusted profile to call IAM-enabled services](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vpc?topic=vpc-imd-trusted-profile-metadata).





 Enable or disable the instance metadata service 

The instance metadata service is disabled by default. To retrieve metadata from an instance, enable the service on new instances or existing instances by using the VPC UI, CLI, or API.



 Enable or disable instance metadata by using the UI 

From the IBM Cloud® console, you can enable or disable the instance metadata service.



 Enable the metadata service for an existing instance by using the UI 

Use the UI to enable the metadata service on an existing instance.



1. Go to the list of instances. In the [IBM Cloud console](https://cloud.ibm.com/login), go to menu icon !
The viewer role on the user management service is a role that is commonly assigned for users assigned a role to view or manage support cases. If an account owner restricts the visibility of the user list in the IAM settings, users can't see support cases that are opened by other users in the account. However, if they are assigned the viewer role for the user management service, the user list visibility setting doesn't affect the ability to view cases in the account.





 Activity Tracker Event Routing 

You can give users access to run platform actions.



Table 21. Roles and example actions for the Activity Tracker Event Routing service

 Roles Actions 

 Viewer View Activity Tracker Event Routing configuration resources such as routes and targets. 
 Operator View Activity Tracker Event Routing configuration resources such as routes and targets. 
 Editor View, create, update, and delete Activity Tracker Event Routing resources. 
 Administrator View, create, update, and delete Activity Tracker Event Routing resources.<br><br>Assign access policies to manage Activity Tracker Event Routing resources to other users in the account. 









 Account management service names 

If you are assigning access by using the CLI or API, the account management services use the following attributes and values:



Table 1. Account management service names

 Account management service Attribute and value 

 All Account Management services serviceType=platform_service 
 All IAM Account Management services service_group_id=IAM 
 Billing serviceName=billing 
 Catalog management serviceName=globalcatalog-collection
