Attach an IAM policy directly to a user on Vultr. Grant the user specific permissions defined in the policy document through the Vultr API or Console.
Attaching a policy directly to a user grants them the permissions defined in the policy's document. This is useful when a user needs specific permissions that are not covered by their group or role assignments.
This guide explains how to attach a policy to a user using the Vultr Console and the Vultr API.
Log in to the Vultr Console.
Click the organization name in the top navigation bar.
Click Manage Organization.
Click the Permission Policies tab.
Click the name of the policy you want to attach.
In the Attached Entities section, click the + button.
Search for and select the users you want to attach to this policy.
Click Attach Entities.
The selected users appear in the Attached Entities list and inherit the policy's permissions.
Send a GET request to the List Policies endpoint to retrieve all policies in your organization.
$ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/policies" \
-X GET \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"
Note the id of the policy you want to attach.
Identify the user_id of the target user. Follow the steps in How to List All Users in an Organization to retrieve user IDs.
Send a POST request to the Attach Policy to User endpoint to attach the policy. Replace {policy-id} with the policy id and {user-id} with the user id.
$ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/policies/{policy-id}/users/{user-id}" \
-X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"
A successful request returns an HTTP 201 Created response.
