# NC2 IAM permissions

The cloud permissions that Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) onboarding needs on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, as machine-
readable rows. Each row carries the public guide page it came from and that page's *Last Updated* date, so you can see
what changed when the guides change.

## `permissions` (270 rows)

| list | what it is | rows | origin |
|---|---|---|---|
| `azure-nc2-app` | the custom role the NC2 app registration holds (109 actions + 9 data actions) | 118 | NC2 user guide |
| `azure-setup` | what the person doing the setup needs to create and assign that role | 2 | derived from the guide's steps |
| `gcp-console-sa` | the NC2 console service account's role | 98 | NC2 user guide |
| `gcp-nodes-sa` | the cluster nodes service account's role | 23 | NC2 user guide |
| `aws-setup` | what a CloudFormation stack that creates IAM roles needs | 27 | derived from the guide's steps |
| `aws-managed-policies` | the managed policies the guide names | 2 | NC2 user guide |

Fields: `list`, `cloud`, `actor`, `permission`, `kind` (action, dataAction, permission, managed-policy), `origin`,
`source_url`, `doc_last_updated`. "Derived" rows map a step the guide describes to the cloud vendor's own permission
for it; they are labelled so you can tell them apart.

The Google Cloud console guide states 97 permissions; its table and its `gcloud` command both list 98, and so does this
dataset.

## `examples` (16 rows)

Worked examples with the expected answer: Microsoft's built-in Azure roles and AWS managed policies (copied from the
vendors' published definitions), the guide's own roles, and labelled synthetic cases. Fields: `list`, `label`,
`source`, `input` (what you'd paste), `expected_missing`. The expected answers are computed in Python, Azure with the
[nc2-iam-preflight](https://github.com/cloudlabworks/nc2-iam-preflight) tool's own matching function.

## Use it

- In the browser: [NC2 IAM permission check](https://huggingface.co/spaces/cloudlabworks/nc2-iam-preflight), which ships these lists and runs the examples as a self-test.
- In your cloud shell, against your real account: [nc2-iam-preflight](https://github.com/cloudlabworks/nc2-iam-preflight).
