NAME

DESCRIPTION

You must specify a name for the policy, which must be unique across all policies in your tenancy and cannot be changed.

You must also specify a description for the policy (although it can be an empty string). It does not have to be unique, and you can change it anytime with UpdatePolicy <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/api/#/en/identity/20160918/Policy/UpdatePolicy>.

You must specify one or more policy statements in the statements array. For information about writing policies, see How Policies Work <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/Identity/policieshow/how-policies-work.htm> and Common Policies <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/Identity/policiescommon/commonpolicies.htm>.

After you send your request, the new object’s lifecycleState will temporarily be CREATING. Before using the object, first make sure its lifecycleState has changed to ACTIVE.

New policies take effect typically within 10 seconds.

USAGE

oci iam policy create [OPTIONS]

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

The OCID of the compartment containing the policy (either the tenancy or another compartment).

The description you assign to the policy during creation. Does not have to be unique, and it’s changeable.

The name you assign to the policy during creation. The name must be unique across all policies in the tenancy and cannot be changed.

An array of policy statements written in the policy language. See How Policies Work <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/Identity/policieshow/how-policies-work.htm> and Common Policies <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/Identity/policiescommon/commonpolicies.htm>. This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

Example:

'["statement 1","statement 2"]'

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/resourcetags.htm>. Example: {“Operations”: {“CostCenter”: “42”}} This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/resourcetags.htm>. Example: {“Department”: “Finance”} This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the file://path-to/file syntax.

The --generate-full-command-json-input option can be used to generate a sample json file to be used with this command option. The key names are pre-populated and match the command option names (converted to camelCase format, e.g. compartment-id –> compartmentId), while the values of the keys need to be populated by the user before using the sample file as an input to this command. For any command option that accepts multiple values, the value of the key can be a JSON array.

Options can still be provided on the command line. If an option exists in both the JSON document and the command line then the command line specified value will be used.

For examples on usage of this option, please see our “using CLI with advanced JSON options” link: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliusing.htm#AdvancedJSONOptions

The maximum time to wait for the resource to reach the lifecycle state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 1200 seconds.

The version of the policy. If null or set to an empty string, when a request comes in for authorization, the policy will be evaluated according to the current behavior of the services at that moment. If set to a particular date (YYYY-MM-DD), the policy will be evaluated according to the behavior of the services on that date.
