Custom Policy

Custom policies can be created to supplement the system-defined policies of Cloud Connect.

You can create custom policies in either of the following ways:

  • Visual editor: Select cloud services, actions, resources, and request conditions. This does not require knowledge of policy syntax.
  • JSON: Edit JSON policies from scratch or based on an existing policy.

For details, see Creating a Custom Policy. The following are examples custom policies created for Cloud Connect.

Example Custom Policies

  • Example 1: Allowing users to delete cloud connections 
    {
    "Version": "1.1",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "cc:cloudConnections:delete"
            ]
        }
    ]
}
  • Example 2: Denying bandwidth package deletion

    A policy with only "Deny" permissions must be used in conjunction with other policies to take effect. If the policies assigned to a user contain both Allow and Deny actions, the Deny actions take precedence over the Allow actions.

    The following method can be used if you need to assign permissions of the CC FullAccess policy to a user but also forbid the user from deleting topics. Create a custom policy for denying topic deletion, and assign both policies to the group the user belongs to. Then the user can perform all operations on Cloud Connect except deleting topics. The following is an example of a deny policy:

    {
    "Version": "1.1",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Deny",
            "Action": [
                "cc:bandwidthPackages:delete"
            ]
        }
    ]
}
  • Example 3: Defining permissions for multiple services in a policy

    A custom policy can contain the actions of multiple services that are of the global or project-level type. The following is an example policy containing actions of multiple services:

    {
    "Version": "1.1",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "cc:bandwidthPackages:create",
                "cc:cloudConnections:create",
                "cc:bandwidthPackages:delete",
                "cc:cloudConnections:delete"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "eps:enterpriseProjects:enable",
                "eps:enterpriseProjects:update",
                "eps:enterpriseProjects:create",
                "eps:enterpriseProjects:delete"
            ]
        }
    ]
}
