Overview of the Chainguard IAM Model

Fri, 15 Jul 2022 15:22:20 +0100

Chainguard’s Identity and Access Management (IAM) model enables more secure, fine-grained control over container registries and security resources, using familiar concepts from cloud providers like AWS and GCP. This enterprise-grade IAM system allows organizations to implement least-privilege access, delegate permissions, and integrate with existing identity providers for seamless authentication and authorization.

Organizations and Folders

Chainguard’s IAM model consists of two structures: Organizations and Folders. An organization is a customer or group of customers working with the same Chainguard resources, while a folder is a collection of resources within a Chainguard organization.

How to Manage Chainguard IAM Organizations

Chainguard provides a rich Identity and Access Management (IAM) model similar to those used by AWS and GCP. This guide outlines how to manage Chainguard’s IAM structures with the chainctl command line tool.

Note: You should work with Chainguard’s Customer Success team to create or delete organizations. This will help to ensure that no users lose access to resources and that your IAM structure is configured correctly.

Logging in

To authenticate into the Chainguard platform, run the following login command.

Verified Organizations

Resources on the Chainguard platform are organized in a hierarchical structure called IAM Organizations. Single customers or organizations typically use a single root-level Organization to manage their Chainguard resources.

Organizations can optionally be verified. Verification modifies some aspects of the Chainguard platform user experience to help large organizations guide their user base to the correct resources.

Verifying your Organization

Verification is currently a manual process. To verify your organization, please contact your customer support contact. You can check if your organization is verified using chainctl.
