modify-db-snapshot-attribute

Description

Adds an attribute and values to, or removes an attribute and values from, a manual DB snapshot.

To share a manual DB snapshot with other AWS accounts, specify restore as the AttributeName and use the ValuesToAdd parameter to add a list of IDs of the AWS accounts that are authorized to restore the manual DB snapshot. Uses the value all to make the manual DB snapshot public, which means it can be copied or restored by all AWS accounts.

Note

Don’t add the all value for any manual DB snapshots that contain private information that you don’t want available to all AWS accounts.

If the manual DB snapshot is encrypted, it can be shared, but only by specifying a list of authorized AWS account IDs for the ValuesToAdd parameter. You can’t use all as a value for that parameter in this case.

To view which AWS accounts have access to copy or restore a manual DB snapshot, or whether a manual DB snapshot public or private, use the DescribeDBSnapshotAttributes API action. The accounts are returned as values for the restore attribute.

Synopsis

  modify-db-snapshot-attribute
--db-snapshot-identifier <value>
--attribute-name <value>
[--values-to-add <value>]
[--values-to-remove <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--db-snapshot-identifier (string)

The identifier for the DB snapshot to modify the attributes for.

--attribute-name (string)

The name of the DB snapshot attribute to modify.

To manage authorization for other AWS accounts to copy or restore a manual DB snapshot, set this value to restore .

Note

To view the list of attributes available to modify, use the DescribeDBSnapshotAttributes API action.

--values-to-add (list)

A list of DB snapshot attributes to add to the attribute specified by AttributeName .

To authorize other AWS accounts to copy or restore a manual snapshot, set this list to include one or more AWS account IDs, or all to make the manual DB snapshot restorable by any AWS account. Do not add the all value for any manual DB snapshots that contain private information that you don’t want available to all AWS accounts.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--values-to-remove (list)

A list of DB snapshot attributes to remove from the attribute specified by AttributeName .

To remove authorization for other AWS accounts to copy or restore a manual snapshot, set this list to include one or more AWS account identifiers, or all to remove authorization for any AWS account to copy or restore the DB snapshot. If you specify all , an AWS account whose account ID is explicitly added to the restore attribute can still copy or restore the manual DB snapshot.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Examples

Example 1: To enable two AWS accounts to restore a DB snapshot

The following modify-db-snapshot-attribute example grants permission to two AWS accounts, with the identifiers 111122223333 and 444455556666, to restore the DB snapshot named mydbsnapshot.

aws rds modify-db-snapshot-attribute \
    --db-snapshot-identifier mydbsnapshot \
    --attribute-name restore \
    --values-to-add {"111122223333","444455556666"}

Output:

{
    "DBSnapshotAttributesResult": {
        "DBSnapshotIdentifier": "mydbsnapshot",
        "DBSnapshotAttributes": [
            {
                "AttributeName": "restore",
                "AttributeValues": [
                    "111122223333",
                    "444455556666"
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
}

Example 2: To prevent an AWS account from restoring a DB snapshot

The following modify-db-snapshot-attribute example removes permission from a particular AWS account to restore the DB snapshot named mydbsnapshot. When specifying a single account, the account identifier can’t be surrounded by quotations marks or braces.

aws rds modify-db-snapshot-attribute \
    --db-snapshot-identifier mydbsnapshot \
    --attribute-name restore \
    --values-to-remove 444455556666

Output:

{
    "DBSnapshotAttributesResult": {
        "DBSnapshotIdentifier": "mydbsnapshot",
        "DBSnapshotAttributes": [
            {
                "AttributeName": "restore",
                "AttributeValues": [
                    "111122223333"
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
}

AttributeName -> (string)

The name of the manual DB snapshot attribute.

The attribute named restore refers to the list of AWS accounts that have permission to copy or restore the manual DB cluster snapshot. For more information, see the ModifyDBSnapshotAttribute API action.
