2023/06/13 - Amazon Verified Permissions - 24 new api methods

Changes  GA release of Amazon Verified Permissions.

ListPolicyStores (new) Link ¶

Returns a paginated list of all policy stores in the calling Amazon Web Services account.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

client.list_policy_stores(
    nextToken='string',
    maxResults=123
)
type nextToken:

string

param nextToken:

Specifies that you want to receive the next page of results. Valid only if you received a NextToken response in the previous request. If you did, it indicates that more output is available. Set this parameter to the value provided by the previous call's NextToken response to request the next page of results.

type maxResults:

integer

param maxResults:

Specifies the total number of results that you want included on each page of the response. If you do not include this parameter, it defaults to a value that is specific to the operation. If additional items exist beyond the number you specify, the NextToken response element is returned with a value (not null). Include the specified value as the NextToken request parameter in the next call to the operation to get the next part of the results. Note that the service might return fewer results than the maximum even when there are more results available. You should check NextToken after every operation to ensure that you receive all of the results.

rtype:

dict

returns:

Response Syntax

    • nextToken (string) --

      If present, this value indicates that more output is available than is included in the current response. Use this value in the NextToken request parameter in a subsequent call to the operation to get the next part of the output. You should repeat this until the NextToken response element comes back as null. This indicates that this is the last page of results.

    • policyStores (list) --

      The list of policy stores in the account.

      • (dict) --

CreatePolicyStore (new) Link ¶

Creates a policy store. A policy store is a container for policy resources.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

client.create_policy_store(
    clientToken='string',
    validationSettings={
        'mode': 'OFF'|'STRICT'
    }
)
type clientToken:

string

param clientToken:

Specifies a unique, case-sensitive ID that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. This lets you safely retry the request without accidentally performing the same operation a second time. Passing the same value to a later call to an operation requires that you also pass the same value for all other parameters. We recommend that you use a UUID type of value..

If you don't provide this value, then Amazon Web Services generates a random one for you.

If you retry the operation with the same ClientToken, but with different parameters, the retry fails with an IdempotentParameterMismatch error.

This field is autopopulated if not provided.

type validationSettings:

dict

param validationSettings:

[REQUIRED]

Specifies the validation setting for this policy store.

Currently, the only valid and required value is Mode.

  • mode (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The validation mode currently configured for this policy store. The valid values are:

    • OFF – Neither Verified Permissions nor Cedar perform any validation on policies. No validation errors are reported by either service.

    • STRICT – Requires a schema to be present in the policy store. Cedar performs validation on all submitted new or updated static policies and policy templates. Any that fail validation are rejected and Cedar doesn't store them in the policy store.

rtype:

CreateIdentitySource (new) Link ¶

Creates a reference to an Amazon Cognito user pool as an external identity provider (IdP).

After you create an identity source, you can use the identities provided by the IdP as proxies for the principal in authorization queries that use the IsAuthorizedWithToken operation. These identities take the form of tokens that contain claims about the user, such as IDs, attributes and group memberships. Amazon Cognito provides both identity tokens and access tokens, and Verified Permissions can use either or both. Any combination of identity and access tokens results in the same Cedar principal. Verified Permissions automatically translates the information about the identities into the standard Cedar attributes that can be evaluated by your policies. Because the Amazon Cognito identity and access tokens can contain different information, the tokens you choose to use determine which principal attributes are available to access when evaluating Cedar policies.

type clientToken:

string

param clientToken:

Specifies a unique, case-sensitive ID that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. This lets you safely retry the request without accidentally performing the same operation a second time. Passing the same value to a later call to an operation requires that you also pass the same value for all other parameters. We recommend that you use a UUID type of value..

If you don't provide this value, then Amazon Web Services generates a random one for you.

If you retry the operation with the same ClientToken, but with different parameters, the retry fails with an IdempotentParameterMismatch error.

This field is autopopulated if not provided.

IsAuthorized (new) Link ¶

Makes an authorization decision about a service request described in the parameters. 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.

A template must be instantiated into a policy by associating it with specific principals and resources to use for the placeholders. That instantiated policy can then be considered in authorization decisions. The instantiated policy works identically to any other policy, except that it is dynamically linked to the template. If the template changes, then any policies that are linked to that template are immediately updated as well.

Request Syntax

client.create_policy_template(
    clientToken='string',
    policyStoreId='string',
    description='string',
    statement='string'
)
type clientToken:

string

param clientToken:

Specifies a unique, case-sensitive ID that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. This lets you safely retry the request without accidentally performing the same operation a second time. Passing the same value to a later call to an operation requires that you also pass the same value for all other parameters. We recommend that you use a UUID type of value..

If you don't provide this value, then Amazon Web Services generates a random one for you.

If you retry the operation with the same ClientToken, but with different parameters, the retry fails with an IdempotentParameterMismatch error.

This field is autopopulated if not provided.

type policyStoreId:

param policyStoreId:

[REQUIRED]

The ID of the policy store in which to create the policy template.

type description:

CreatePolicy (new) Link ¶

Creates a Cedar policy and saves it in the specified policy store. You can create either a static policy or a policy linked to a policy template.

  • To create a static policy, provide the Cedar policy text in the StaticPolicy section of the PolicyDefinition.

  • To create a policy that is dynamically linked to a policy template, specify the policy template ID and the principal and resource to associate with this policy in the templateLinked section of the PolicyDefinition. If the policy template is ever updated, any policies linked to the policy template automatically use the updated template.

    ]
)
type policyStoreId:

string

param policyStoreId:

[REQUIRED]

Specifies the ID of the policy store that contains the identity sources that you want to list.

type nextToken:

string

param nextToken:

Specifies that you want to receive the next page of results. Valid only if you received a NextToken response in the previous request. If you did, it indicates that more output is available. Set this parameter to the value provided by the previous call's NextToken response to request the next page of results.

type maxResults:

integer

param maxResults:

Specifies the total number of results that you want included on each page of the response. If you do not include this parameter, it defaults to a value that is specific to the operation. If additional items exist beyond the number you specify, the NextToken response element is returned with a value (not null). Include the specified value as the NextToken request parameter in the next call to the operation to get the next part of the results. Note that the service might return fewer results than the maximum even when there are more results available. You should check NextToken after every operation to ensure that you receive all of the results.
