Request Conditions

Request conditions are useful in determining when a custom policy takes effect. A request condition consists of a condition key and operator. Condition keys are either global or service-level and are used in the Condition element of a policy statement. Global condition keys (starting with g:) are available for operations of all services, while service-level condition keys (starting with a service name such as ges) are available only for operations of a specific service. An operator is used together with a condition key to form a complete condition statement.

GES has a group of predefined condition keys that can be used in IAM. For example, to define an allow permission, you can use the condition key hw:SourceIp to match requesters by IP address. The following table shows the request conditions that are used with GES.
