PutResourcePolicy - AWS Secrets Manager

PutResourcePolicy

Attaches a resource-based permission policy to a secret. A resource-based policy is optional. For more information, see Authentication and access control for Secrets Manager

For information about attaching a policy in the console, see Attach a permissions policy to a secret.

Secrets Manager generates a CloudTrail log entry when you call this action. Do not include sensitive information in request parameters because it might be logged. For more information, see Logging Secrets Manager events with AWS CloudTrail.

Required permissions: secretsmanager:PutResourcePolicy. For more information, see IAM policy actions for Secrets Manager and Authentication and access control in Secrets Manager.

Request Syntax

{ "BlockPublicPolicy": boolean, "ResourcePolicy": "string", "SecretId": "string" }

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

BlockPublicPolicy

Specifies whether to block resource-based policies that allow broad access to the secret, for example those that use a wildcard for the principal. By default, public policies aren't blocked.

Important

Resource policy validation and the BlockPublicPolicy parameter help protect your resources by preventing public access from being granted through the resource policies that are directly attached to your secrets. In addition to using these features, carefully inspect the following policies to confirm that they do not grant public access:

  • Identity-based policies attached to associated AWS principals (for example, IAM roles)

  • Resource-based policies attached to associated AWS resources (for example, AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) keys)

To review permissions to your secrets, see Determine who has permissions to your secrets.

Type: Boolean

Required: No

ResourcePolicy

A JSON-formatted string for an AWS resource-based policy. For example policies, see Permissions policy examples.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 20480.

Required: Yes

SecretId

The ARN or name of the secret to attach the resource-based policy.

For an ARN, we recommend that you specify a complete ARN rather than a partial ARN. See Finding a secret from a partial ARN.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 2048.

Required: Yes

Response Syntax

{ "ARN": "string", "Name": "string" }

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

ARN

The ARN of the secret.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 20. Maximum length of 2048.

Name

The name of the secret.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 512.

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

InternalServiceError

An error occurred on the server side.

HTTP Status Code: 500

InvalidParameterException

The parameter name or value is invalid.

HTTP Status Code: 400

InvalidRequestException

A parameter value is not valid for the current state of the resource.

Possible causes:

  • The secret is scheduled for deletion.

  • You tried to enable rotation on a secret that doesn't already have a Lambda function ARN configured and you didn't include such an ARN as a parameter in this call.

  • The secret is managed by another service, and you must use that service to update it. For more information, see Secrets managed by other AWS services.

HTTP Status Code: 400

MalformedPolicyDocumentException

The resource policy has syntax errors.

HTTP Status Code: 400

PublicPolicyException

The BlockPublicPolicy parameter is set to true, and the resource policy did not prevent broad access to the secret.

HTTP Status Code: 400

ResourceNotFoundException

Secrets Manager can't find the resource that you asked for.

HTTP Status Code: 400
