PolicyDefinition

A structure that contains the details for a Cedar policy definition. It includes the policy type, a description, and a policy body. This is a top level data type used to create a policy.

This data type is used as a request parameter for the CreatePolicy operation. This structure must always have either an static or a templateLinked element.

Note

In the following list, the required parameters are described first.

Important

This data type is a UNION, so only one of the following members can be specified when used or returned.

static

A structure that describes a static policy. An static policy doesn't use a template or allow placeholders for entities.

Type: StaticPolicyDefinition object

Required: No

templateLinked

A structure that describes a policy that was instantiated from a template. The template can specify placeholders for principal and resource. When you use CreatePolicy to create a policy from a template, you specify the exact principal and resource to use for the instantiated policy.
