Table 3 Agency

Type

Uniform resource name.

trust_policy

String

JSON format of the policy document of a trust agency's trust policy. Characters =, <, >, (, ), and | are special characters in the grammar and are not included in trust policies.

The question mark (?) following an element indicates that the element is optional, for example, sid_block?.

The vertical bar (|) separates options, and the parentheses enclose the options, for example, ("Allow" | "Deny").

When an element allows more than one value, use commas (,), and ellipsis (...), for example, [ <policy_statement>, <policy_statement>, ... ].

The following listing describes the trust policy language grammar:

policy = {
  <version_block>,
  <statement_block>
}

<version_block> = "Version" : ("5.0")

<statement_block> = "Statement" : [ <policy_statement>, <policy_statement>, ... ]

<policy_statement> = {
  <sid_block?>,
  <principal_block>,
  <effect_block>,
  <action_block>,
  <resource_block?>,
  <condition_block?>
}

<sid_block> = "Sid" : <sid_string>

<principal_block> = ("Principal" | "NotPrincipal") : <principal_map>

<principal_map> = { <principal_map_entry>, <principal_map_entry>, ... }

<principal_map_entry> = ("IAM" | "Service") : [ <principal_id_string>, ... | <service_principal_string>, ... ]

<effect_block> = "Effect" : ("Allow" | "Deny")

<action_block> = ("Action" | "NotAction") : [ <action_string>, <action_string>, ... ]

<resource_block> = ("Resource" | "NotResource") : [ <resource_string>, <resource_string>, ... ]

<condition_block> = "Condition" : { <condition_map> }

<condition_map> = {
  <condition_type_string> : { <condition_key_string> : <condition_value_list> },
  <condition_type_string> : { <condition_key_string> : <condition_value_list> },
  ...
}
