What Entities Can a Permission Policy Be Attached to?

1 min readUpdated 15 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.
