IAM JSON policy elements: Id - Amazon Identity and Access Management
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

IAM JSON policy elements: Id

The Id element specifies an optional identifier for the policy. The ID is used differently in different services. ID is allowed in resource-based policies, but not in identity-based policies.

For services that let you set an ID element, we recommend you use a UUID (GUID) for the value, or incorporate a UUID as part of the ID to ensure uniqueness. 

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Id": "cd3ad3d9-2776-4ef1-a904-4c229d1642ee",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
      "Resource": "*"
    }
  ]
}
Note

Some Amazon services (for example, Amazon SQS or Amazon SNS) might require this element and have uniqueness requirements for it. For service-specific information about writing policies, refer to the documentation for the service you're working with.
