Role/Policy-based Authorization (Old IAM Edition)

This section describes the actions supported by SWR in policy-based authorization.

Supported Actions

SWR provides system-defined policies that can be directly used in IAM. You can also create custom policies to supplement system-defined policies for more refined access control. Operations supported by policies are specific to APIs. The following are common concepts related to policies:

  • Permissions: statements that allow or deny certain operations in a policy
  • APIs: REST APIs that can be called by a user who has been granted specific permissions
  • Actions: specific operations that are allowed or denied in a custom policy
  • Dependencies: actions which a specific action depends on. When allowing an action for a user, you also need to allow any existing action dependencies for that user.
