# Amazon Serverless Application Repository examples using Amazon CLI
<a name="cli_serverlessapplicationrepository_code_examples"></a>

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the Amazon Command Line Interface with Amazon Serverless Application Repository.

*Actions* are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.

Each example includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.

### `put-application-policy`
<a name="serverlessapplicationrepository_PutApplicationPolicy_cli_topic"></a>

The following code example shows how to use `put-application-policy`.

**Amazon CLI**  
**Example 1: To share an application publicly**  
The following `put-application-policy` shares an application publicly, so anyone can find and deploy your application in the Amazon Serverless Application Repository.  

```
aws serverlessrepo put-application-policy \
    --application-id arn:aws:serverlessrepo:us-east-1:123456789012:applications/my-test-application \
    --statements Principals='*',Actions=Deploy
```
Output:  

```
{
    "Statements": [
        {
            "Actions": [
                "Deploy"
            ],
            "Principals": [
                ""
            ],
            "StatementId": "a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-11111EXAMPLE"
        }
    ]
}
```
**Example 2:** To share an application privately  
The following `put-application-policy` shares an application privately, so only specific Amazon accounts can find and deploy your application in the Amazon Serverless Application Repository.  

```
aws serverlessrepo put-application-policy \
    --application-id arn:aws:serverlessrepo:us-east-1:123456789012:applications/my-test-application \
    --statements Principals=111111111111,222222222222,Actions=Deploy
```
Output:  

```
{
    "Statements": [
        {
            "Actions": [
                "Deploy"
            ],
            "Principals": [
                "111111111111",
                "222222222222"
            ],
            "StatementId": "a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-11111EXAMPLE"
        }
    ]
}
```
