# Configuring image access permissions

To grant a user, group, or [service account](../../../iam/concepts/users/service-accounts.md) access to an [image](../../concepts/image.md), assign a [role](../../../iam/concepts/access-control/roles.md) for it.

## Assigning a role {#add-access}

{% list tabs group=instructions %}

- Management console {#console}

  1. In the [management console](https://console.yandex.cloud), select the folder hosting your image.
  1. Navigate to **Compute Cloud**.
  1. In the left-hand panel, select ![image](../../../_assets/console-icons/layers.svg) **Images**.
  1. Select the image you need.
  1. Navigate to the ![image](../../../_assets/console-icons/persons.svg) **Access bindings** tab.
  1. Click **Assign roles**.
  1. In the window that opens, select the group, user, or service account you want to grant access to the image.
  1. Click ![image](../../../_assets/console-icons/plus.svg) **Add role** and select the required [role](../../security/index.md#roles-list).
  1. Click **Save**.

- CLI {#cli}

  If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, [install and initialize it](../../../cli/quickstart.md#install).

  The folder used by default is the one specified when [creating](../../../cli/operations/profile/profile-create.md) the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the `yc config set folder-id <folder_ID>` command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using `--folder-name` or `--folder-id`. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

  1. See the description of the CLI command for assigning a role for an image:

     ```bash
     yc compute image add-access-binding --help
     ```

  1. Get a list of images in the default [folder](../../../resource-manager/concepts/resources-hierarchy.md#folder):

     ```bash
     yc compute image list
     ```

  1. View the roles already assigned for the resource:

     ```bash
     yc compute image list-access-bindings <image_ID>
     ```

  1. Assign a role using this command:

     * To a user:

       ```bash
       yc compute image add-access-binding <image_ID> \
         --user-account-id <user_ID> \
         --role <role>
       ```

       Where:

       * `--user-account-id`: [User ID](../../../organization/operations/users-get.md). Use the `--all-authenticated-users` flag to assign a role to all authenticated users.
       * `--role`: [Role](../../security/index.md#roles-list).

     * To a service account:

       ```bash
       yc compute image add-access-binding <image_ID> \
         --service-account-id <service_account_ID> \
         --role <role>
       ```

       Where:

       * `--service-account-id`: [Service account ID](../../../iam/operations/sa/get-id.md).
       * `--role`: [Role](../../security/index.md#roles-list).

- Terraform {#tf}

  With [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/), you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. These files store the infrastructure description written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.
  
  Terraform is distributed under the [Business Source License](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/main/LICENSE). The [Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform](https://github.com/yandex-cloud/terraform-provider-yandex) is distributed under the [MPL-2.0](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/) license.
  
  For more information about the provider resources, see the guides on the [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/yandex/index.html) website or [its mirror](../../../terraform/index.md).

  If you do not have Terraform yet, [install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider](../../../tutorials/infrastructure-management/terraform-quickstart.md#install-terraform).
  
  
  To manage infrastructure using Terraform under a service account or user accounts (a Yandex account, a federated account, or a local user), [authenticate](../../../terraform/authentication.md) using the appropriate method.

  To assign a role for an image using Terraform:

  1. In the Terraform configuration file, describe the resources you want to create:

      ```hcl
      resource "yandex_compute_image_iam_binding" "sa-access" {
        image_id = "<image_ID>"
        role     = "<role>"
        members  = ["<subject_type>:<subject_ID>","<subject_type>:<subject_ID>"]
      }
      ```

      Where:

      * `image_id`: Image ID.
      * `role`: [Role](../../security/index.md#roles-list).
      * `members`: List of types and IDs of [subjects](../../../iam/concepts/access-control/index.md#subject) getting the role. Use this format: `userAccount:<user_ID>` or `serviceAccount:<service_account_ID>`.

      For more information about `yandex_compute_image_iam_binding` properties, see [this provider guide](../../../terraform/resources/compute_image_iam_binding.md).

  1. Create the resources:

      1. In the terminal, navigate to the configuration file directory.
      1. Make sure the configuration is correct using this command:
      
         ```bash
         terraform validate
         ```
      
         If the configuration is valid, you will get this message:
      
         ```bash
         Success! The configuration is valid.
         ```
      
      1. Run this command:
      
         ```bash
         terraform plan
         ```
      
         You will see a list of resources and their properties. No changes will be made at this step. Terraform will show any errors in the configuration.
      1. Apply the configuration changes:
      
         ```bash
         terraform apply
         ```
      
      1. Type `yes` and press **Enter** to confirm the changes.

      Terraform will create all the required resources. You can check the new resources using the [management console](https://console.yandex.cloud) or this [CLI](../../../cli/index.md) command:

      ```bash
      yc compute image list-access-bindings <image_ID>
      ```

- API {#api}

  To assign a role, use the [updateAccessBindings](../../api-ref/Image/updateAccessBindings.md) REST API method for the [Image](../../api-ref/Image/index.md) resource or the [ImageService/UpdateAccessBindings](../../api-ref/grpc/Image/updateAccessBindings.md) gRPC API call. In the request body, set the `action` property to `ADD` and specify the user type and ID under `subject`.

{% endlist %}

## Assigning multiple roles {#set-access}

  1. In the window that opens, select the group, user, or service account you want to grant access to the image.
  1. Click ![image](../../../_assets/console-icons/plus.svg) **Add role** and select the required [role](../../security/index.md#roles-list).
  1. To add another role, click ![image](../../../_assets/console-icons/plus.svg) **Add role**.
  1. Click **Save**.

- CLI {#cli}

  If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, [install and initialize it](../../../cli/quickstart.md#install).

  The folder used by default is the one specified when [creating](../../../cli/operations/profile/profile-create.md) the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the `yc config set folder-id <folder_ID>` command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using `--folder-name` or `--folder-id`. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

  You can assign multiple roles using the `set-access-bindings` command.

  {% note alert %}
  
  The `set-access-bindings` command completely rewrites access permissions for the resource. All current roles for the resource will be deleted.
  
  {% endnote %}

  1. Make sure the resource has no roles assigned that you would not want to lose:

     ```bash
     yc compute image list-access-bindings <image_ID>
     ```

  1. See the description of the CLI command for assigning roles for an image:

     ```bash
     yc compute image set-access-bindings --help
     ```

  1. Assign roles:

     ```bash
     yc compute image set-access-bindings <image_ID> \
       --access-binding role=<role>,subject=<subject_type>:<subject_ID> \
       --access-binding role=<role>,subject=<subject_type>:<subject_ID>
     ```

     Where:

     * `--access-binding`: Parameters for setting access permissions:

       * `role`: [Role](../../security/index.md#roles-list).
       * `subject`: Type and ID of the [subject](../../../iam/concepts/access-control/index.md#subject) the role is assigned to.

     For example, this command will assign roles to multiple users and a single service account:

     ```bash
     yc compute image set-access-bindings my-image \
       --access-binding role=editor,subject=userAccount:gfei8n54hmfh********
       --access-binding role=viewer,subject=userAccount:helj89sfj80a********
       --access-binding role=editor,subject=serviceAccount:ajel6l0jcb9s********
     ```
