2024/11/06 - Amazon Verified Permissions - 1 new 4 updated api methods
Changes Adding BatchGetPolicy API which supports the retrieval of multiple policies across multiple policy stores within a single request.
Retrieves information about a group (batch) of policies.
Note
The BatchGetPolicy operation doesn't have its own IAM permission. To authorize this operation for Amazon Web Services principals, include the permission verifiedpermissions:GetPolicy in their IAM policies.

Response {'results': {'request': {'context': {'contextMap': {'decimal': 'string',
'ipaddr': 'string'}}}}}
Makes a series of decisions about multiple authorization requests for one principal or resource. Each request contains the equivalent content of an IsAuthorized request: principal, action, resource, and context. Either the principal or the resource parameter must be identical across all requests. For example, Verified Permissions won't evaluate a pair of requests where bob views photo1 and alice views photo2 . Authorization of bob to view photo1 and photo2 , or bob and alice to view photo1 , are valid batches.
The request is evaluated against all policies in the specified policy store that match the entities that you declare. The result of the decisions is a series of Allow or Deny responses, along with the IDs of the policies that produced each decision.
The entities of a BatchIsAuthorized API request can contain up to 100 principals and up to 100 resources. The requests of a BatchIsAuthorized API request can contain up to 30 requests.
Note
The BatchIsAuthorized operation doesn't have its own IAM permission. To authorize this operation for Amazon Web Services principals, include the permission verifiedpermissions:IsAuthorized in their IAM policies.

Makes a series of decisions about multiple authorization requests for one token. The principal in this request comes from an external identity source in the form of an identity or access token, formatted as a JSON web token (JWT). The information in the parameters can also define additional context that Verified Permissions can include in the evaluations.
The request is evaluated against all policies in the specified policy store that match the entities that you provide in the entities declaration and in the token. The result of the decisions is a series of Allow or Deny responses, along with the IDs of the policies that produced each decision.
The entities of a BatchIsAuthorizedWithToken API request can contain up to 100 resources and up to 99 user groups. The requests of a BatchIsAuthorizedWithToken API request can contain up to 30 requests.
Note
The BatchIsAuthorizedWithToken operation doesn't have its own IAM permission. To authorize this operation for Amazon Web Services principals, include the permission verifiedpermissions:IsAuthorizedWithToken in their IAM policies.

string
[REQUIRED]
Specifies the ID of the policy store. Policies in this policy store will be used to make an authorization decision for the input.
string
Specifies an identity (ID) token for the principal that you want to authorize in each request. This token is provided to you by the identity provider (IdP) associated with the specified identity source. You must specify either an accessToken , an identityToken , or both.
Must be an ID token. Verified Permissions returns an error if the token_use claim in the submitted token isn't id .
string
Specifies an access token for the principal that you want to authorize in each request. This token is provided to you by the identity provider (IdP) associated with the specified identity source. You must specify either an accessToken , an identityToken , or both.
Must be an access token. Verified Permissions returns an error if the token_use claim in the submitted token isn't access .
dict
Specifies the list of resources and their associated attributes that Verified Permissions can examine when evaluating the policies.
Warning
You can't include principals in this parameter, only resource and action entities. This parameter can't include any entities of a type that matches the user or group entity types that you defined in your identity source.
The BatchIsAuthorizedWithToken operation takes principal attributes from only the identityToken or accessToken passed to the operation.
For action entities, you can include only their Identifier and EntityType .

Makes an authorization decision about a service request described in the parameters. The principal in this request comes from an external identity source in the form of an identity token formatted as a JSON web token (JWT). The information in the parameters can also define additional context that Verified Permissions can include in the evaluation. The request is evaluated against all matching policies in the specified policy store. The result of the decision is either Allow or Deny , along with a list of the policies that resulted in the decision.
Verified Permissions validates each token that is specified in a request by checking its expiration date and its signature.
Warning
Tokens from an identity source user continue to be usable until they expire. Token revocation and resource deletion have no effect on the validity of a token in your policy store

dict
Specifies the list of resources and their associated attributes that Verified Permissions can examine when evaluating the policies.
Warning
You can't include principals in this parameter, only resource and action entities. This parameter can't include any entities of a type that matches the user or group entity types that you defined in your identity source.
The IsAuthorizedWithToken operation takes principal attributes from only the identityToken or accessToken passed to the operation.
For action entities, you can include only their Identifier and EntityType .

Contains information about the runtime context for a request for which an authorization decision is made.
This data type is used as a member of the ContextDefinition structure which is uses as a request parameter for the IsAuthorized, BatchIsAuthorized, and IsAuthorizedWithToken operations.
Note
This is a Tagged Union structure. Only one of the following top level keys can be set: boolean, entityIdentifier, long, string, set, record, ipaddr, decimal.
boolean (boolean) --
An attribute value of Boolean type.
Example: {"boolean": true}

entityType (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The type of an entity.
Example: "entityType":"typeName"
entityId (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The identifier of an entity.
"entityId":"identifier"

set (list) --
An attribute value of Set type.
Example: {"set": [ {} ] }
(dict) --
The value of an attribute.
Contains information about the runtime context for a request for which an authorization decision is made.
This data type is used as a member of the ContextDefinition structure which is uses as a request parameter for the IsAuthorized, BatchIsAuthorized, and IsAuthorizedWithToken operations.
Note
This is a Tagged Union structure. Only one of the following top level keys can be set: boolean, entityIdentifier, long, string, set, record, ipaddr, decimal.
record (dict) --
An attribute value of Record type.
Example: {"record": { "keyName": {} } }

decimal (string) --
An attribute value of decimal type.
Example: {"decimal": "1.1"}
parents (list) --
The parent entities in the hierarchy that contains the entity. A principal or resource entity can be defined with at most 99 transitive parents per authorization request.
A transitive parent is an entity in the hierarchy of entities including all direct parents, and parents of parents. For example, a user can be a member of 91 groups if one of those groups is a member of eight groups, for a total of 100: one entity, 91 entity parents, and eight parents of parents.

Response Structure
(dict) --
decision (string) --
An authorization decision that indicates if the authorization request should be allowed or denied.
determiningPolicies (list) --
The list of determining policies used to make the authorization decision. For example, if there are multiple matching policies, where at least one is a forbid policy, then because forbid always overrides permit the forbid policies are the determining policies. If all matching policies are permit policies, then those policies are the determining policies. When no policies match and the response is the default DENY, there are no determining policies.
(dict) --
Contains information about one of the policies that determined an authorization decision.
This data type is used as an element in a response parameter for the IsAuthorized, BatchIsAuthorized, and IsAuthorizedWithToken operations.
Example: "determiningPolicies":[{"policyId":"SPEXAMPLEabcdefg111111"}]
policyId (string) --
The Id of a policy that determined to an authorization decision.
Example: "policyId":"SPEXAMPLEabcdefg111111"
errors (list) --
Errors that occurred while making an authorization decision. For example, a policy references an entity or entity attribute that does not exist in the slice.
(dict) --
Contains a description of an evaluation error.
This data type is a response parameter of the IsAuthorized, BatchIsAuthorized, and IsAuthorizedWithToken operations.
errorDescription (string) --
The error description.
principal (dict) --
The identifier of the principal in the ID or access token.
entityType (string) --
The type of an entity.
Example: "entityType":"typeName"
entityId (string) --
The identifier of an entity.
"entityId":"identifier"
