What Entities Can a Permission Policy Be Attached to?

Updated on 13 April, 2026

Learn which entities support policy attachment in Vultr IAM. Permission policies can be attached directly to users, groups, and roles in your organization.

A permission policy can be directly attached to the following entities:

  • Users — attaching a policy directly to a user grants the user the permissions defined in the policy, regardless of their group memberships or role assignments.
  • Groups — attaching a policy to a group grants its permissions to all current and future members of that group automatically.

Attachments can be managed from the Vultr Console under [Your Organization] > Permission Policies > [Target Policy] > Attached Entities, or via the Vultr API. Refer to the Vultr API Reference for attaching policies to users and groups.

Note
Permission policies can also be bundled into a role during role creation or editing under [Your Organization] > Roles in the Vultr Console or via the Vultr API.
