Member onboarding
This topic describes the member onboarding process. An administrator can invite other members to use IoT Blockchain Hub. After a member accepts the invitation, the administrator can grant the member blockchain access permissions. This allows the member to upload data to the authorized service blockchain.
Go to the member onboarding and authorization page
1. Log on to the IoT Security Center console.
2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose IoT Blockchain Hub > Member Information.
Add a member
An administrator can invite a member to a service blockchain. This allows the member to upload and query data on the blockchain.
To add a member, you need the member's Alibaba Cloud account UID.
After you add a member, the member must log on to the IoT Blockchain Hub console to confirm the invitation. You can then grant permissions and perform other operations for the member.
After you add a member, you can check the member's onboarding status on the member onboarding records page.
