create_policy_template async

create_policy_template(
    policy_store_id: PolicyStoreId,
    statement: PolicyStatement,
    *,
    config_overrides: Optional[AsyncVerifiedPermissionsClientConfig] = None,
    client_token: Optional[IdempotencyToken] = None,
    description: Optional[PolicyTemplateDescription] = None,
    name: Optional[PolicyTemplateName] = None,
) -> CreatePolicyTemplateOutput

Creates a policy template. A template can use placeholders for the principal and resource. 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.

Verified Permissions is eventually consistent . It can take a few seconds for a new or changed element to propagate through the service and be visible in the results of other Verified Permissions operations.

Parameters:

  • client_token (Optional[IdempotencyToken], default: None ) –

    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 ConflictException error.

    Verified Permissions recognizes a ClientToken for eight hours. After eight hours, the next request with the same parameters performs the operation again regardless of the value of ClientToken.

  • policy_store_id (PolicyStoreId) –

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

    To specify a policy store, use its ID or alias name. When using an alias name, prefix it with policy-store-alias/. For example:

    • ID: PSEXAMPLEabcdefg111111

    • Alias name: policy-store-alias/example-policy-store

    To view aliases, use ListPolicyStoreAliases.

  • description (Optional[PolicyTemplateDescription], default: None ) –

    Specifies a description for the policy template.

  • statement (PolicyStatement) –

    Specifies the content that you want to use for the new policy template, written in the Cedar policy language.

  • name (Optional[PolicyTemplateName], default: None ) –

    Specifies a name for the policy template that is unique among all policy templates within the policy store. You can use the name in place of the policy template ID in API operations that reference the policy template. The name must be prefixed with name/.

    If you specify a name that is already associated with another policy template in the policy store, you receive a ConflictException error.

Raises:

  • AccessDeniedException –

    You don't have sufficient access to perform this action.

  • InternalServerException –

    The request failed because of an internal error. Try your request again later

  • ThrottlingException –

    The request failed because it exceeded a throttling quota.

  • ValidationException –

    The request failed because one or more input parameters don't satisfy their constraint requirements. The output is provided as a list of fields and a reason for each field that isn't valid.

    The possible reasons include the following:

    • UnrecognizedEntityType

      The policy includes an entity type that isn't found in the schema.

    • UnrecognizedActionId

      The policy includes an action id that isn't found in the schema.

    • InvalidActionApplication

      The policy includes an action that, according to the schema, doesn't support the specified principal and resource.

    • UnexpectedType

      The policy included an operand that isn't a valid type for the specified operation.

    • IncompatibleTypes

      The types of elements included in a set, or the types of expressions used in an if...then...else clause aren't compatible in this context.

    • MissingAttribute

      The policy attempts to access a record or entity attribute that isn't specified in the schema. Test for the existence of the attribute first before attempting to access its value. For more information, see the has (presence of attribute test) operator in the Cedar Policy Language Guide.

    • UnsafeOptionalAttributeAccess

      The policy attempts to access a record or entity attribute that is optional and isn't guaranteed to be present. Test for the existence of the attribute first before attempting to access its value. For more information, see the has (presence of attribute test) operator in the Cedar Policy Language Guide.

    • ImpossiblePolicy

      Cedar has determined that a policy condition always evaluates to false. If the policy is always false, it can never apply to any query, and so it can never affect an authorization decision.

    • WrongNumberArguments

      The policy references an extension type with the wrong number of arguments.

    • FunctionArgumentValidationError

      Cedar couldn't parse the argument passed to an extension type. For example, a string that is to be parsed as an IPv4 address can contain only digits and the period character.

  • ConflictException –

    The request failed because another request to modify a resource occurred at the same time.

  • ResourceNotFoundException –

    The request failed because it references a resource that doesn't exist.

  • ServiceQuotaExceededException –

    The request failed because it would cause a service quota to be exceeded.

  • UnknownServiceError –

    The service returned an error code this client does not model.
