Precision Time Identity and Access Management (IAM)

The Equinix Identity and Access Management (IAM) platform includes Customer Resource Hierarchy (CRH), Access Management (AM), user roles, and project-based grouping. For more information, see the Identity and Access Management documentation.

Within IAM, Precision Time account Users must be assigned to two roles, which define user permissions for Precision Time services:

  • EPT Service Admin

  • Finance Admin (can be an optional permission)

And Precision Time account Admin Users must be assigned to four roles:

  • EPT Service Admin

  • IAM Admin

  • Finance Admin

  • Project Admin

The Roles tab displays these required roles and all the additional roles that are available for a project. For more details, see View Roles.

Precision Time Roles and Permissions

The roles used in your organization define the permissions that are needed to access different projects, organizations, and assets. Some roles are provided by Equinix Identity and Access Management (IAM) platform, and other custom roles are set up for Equinix Precision Time.

Your IAM Admin or Primary Admin can create and assign roles to users of Equinix Precision Time billing accounts as needed. See Identity and Access Management Roles for more information about these standard and custom roles and permissions.

Note: In an IAM environment, each user of a Precision Time billing account must be assigned to the following roles, depending on whether they are a typical account User or an account Admin User:
  • EPT Service Admin – to view and manage Precision Time services

  • Finance Admin – to view and manage billing accounts

  • Project Admin – to create projects, and to create, view, and manage resources in a project

  • IAM Admin – to manage users, custom roles, and role assignments in the resource hierarchy

Depending on your permissions, you can view your organization hierarchy and available roles by selecting Identity & Access Management under the left side menu. Use the Context Switcher to select or change the project, and click the Roles tab to view and display details about the roles that are available.
