Set Opted Regions for Cloud Accounts

PYC needs to know which cloud regions you want to monitor for each cloud account or project. Opted regions are required before running Resource Discovery and assigning permissions.

3

Understand the Permission Model column

OptionWhen to use it
ModernTeam gets access to ALL resources of a type (e.g. EC2, RDS, etc.) in the selected region and account. Best for environments where an account / project / subscription is dedicated to a specific team or application.
Resource LevelTeam gets access to only specific, hand-picked resources in the account. Best for environments where multiple teams share an account / project / subscription.
Note

You can change the Permission Model by clicking the edit icon next to that column. The model you set here determines how permissions work in Step 5.
