get_policy(
    policy_store_id: PolicyStoreId,
    policy_id: PolicyId,
    *,
    config_overrides: Optional[VerifiedPermissionsClientConfig] = None,
) -> GetPolicyOutput

Retrieves information about the specified policy.

Parameters:

  • policy_store_id (PolicyStoreId) –

    Specifies the ID of the policy store that contains the policy that you want information about.

    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.

  • policy_id (PolicyId) –

    Specifies the ID of the policy you want information about.

    You can use the policy name in place of the policy ID. When using a name, prefix it with name/. For example:

    • ID: SPEXAMPLEabcdefg111111

    • Name: name/example-policy

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.

  • ResourceNotFoundException –

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

  • UnknownServiceError –

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

Examples:

To retrieve details about a policy The following example retrieves information about the specified policy contained in the specified policy store. In this example, the requested policy is a template-linked policy, so it returns the ID of the policy template, and the specific principal and resource used by this policy.

>>> client.get_policy(policy_id='9wYixMplbbZQb5fcZHyJhY', policy_store_id='C7v5xMplfFH3i3e4Jrzb1a')
To retrieve a policy by name
The following example retrieves information about a policy using its name instead of its ID.
>>> client.get_policy(policy_id='name/example-policy', policy_store_id='C7v5xMplfFH3i3e4Jrzb1a')
