Cloud Connection Custom Policy

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

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.

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 permissions granted to an IAM user contain both "Allow" and "Deny", the "Deny" permissions take precedence over the "Allow" permissions.

    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 bandwidth packages. Create a custom policy and assign both policies to the group that the user belongs to. Then the user can perform all operations on Cloud Connect resources except deleting bandwidth packages. 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"
            ]
        }
    ]
}
