Enterprise identity verification for your Alibaba Cloud account

Suppliers must complete enterprise identity verification for their Alibaba Cloud accounts.

For more information about how to perform enterprise identity verification for an Alibaba Cloud account, see Enterprise identity verification.

Create a RAM user

If a supplier needs to configure workbench accounts for multiple staff members, you can create multiple Resource Access Management (RAM) users. The main steps are as follows:

1. Log on to the RAM console with your Alibaba Cloud account.

2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Identity Management > Users. On the Users page, click Create User.

3. Configure the RAM user.

   • Logon Name & Display Name: Enter the Logon Name and Display Name for the RAM user. The Logon Name can contain letters, digits, periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscores (_). It can be up to 64 characters long. The Display Name can be up to 128 characters long.

   • Add multiple users: Click Add User to create multiple RAM users at the same time.

   • Access Mode: Select Console Access.

   • Set Password: Select Autogenerated or Custom.

   • Password Reset: Select whether the RAM user must reset the password on their next logon.

   • Enable MFA: Select whether to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for the RAM user. After you enable MFA, the Alibaba Cloud account must attach an MFA device to the RAM user, or the RAM user must attach an MFA device. For more information, see Attach an MFA device to a RAM user.

   • After the configuration is complete, click OK.

   • After the user is created, verify that the status is Successful. Record the User Logon Name and Logon Password.

4. View the list of RAM users. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Identity Management > Users. In the user list, you can view information about the created RAM users. To delete a RAM user, click Delete. This operation is irreversible. Proceed with caution.

5. Log on to the workbench as a RAM user. To log on to the supplier workbench as a RAM user, select RAM User on the logon page.

   Enter the logon name and password. If MFA was enabled when the user was created, you must complete the MFA verification. For more information about MFA, see Attach an MFA device to a RAM user.

Grant permissions to a RAM user

After you create a RAM user, you must grant the user permission to access LinkedMall.

1. Go to the Resource Access Management > Users page in the Alibaba Cloud console. Find the RAM user to which you want to grant permissions and click Add Permissions.

2. In the Add Permissions dialog box, search for the LinkedMall access policy (for policy details, see AliyunLinkedMallFullAccess). Select the policy and click OK.

3. Go to Authorization Management > Authorization to view the authorization result or revoke the authorization.

   Important

   Revoking authorization revokes the RAM user's access to LinkedMall. Proceed with caution.

AliyunLinkedMallFullAccess is a system policy managed by Alibaba Cloud. You can grant the AliyunLinkedMallFullAccess policy to a RAM identity, such as a RAM user, a RAM user group, or a RAM role. This policy grants full access to AliyunLinkedMall.
