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 Amazon Web Services accounts, specify restore
as the AttributeName
and use the ValuesToAdd
parameter to add a list of IDs of the Amazon Web Services 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 Amazon Web Services 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 Amazon Web Services accounts.
If the manual DB snapshot is encrypted, it can be shared, but only by specifying a list of authorized Amazon Web Services account IDs for the ValuesToAdd
parameter. You can’t use all
as a value for that parameter in this case.
To view which Amazon Web Services 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.

The name of the DB snapshot attribute to modify.
To manage authorization for other Amazon Web Services accounts to copy or restore a manual DB snapshot, set this value to
restore

--values-to-add
(list)
A list of DB snapshot attributes to add to the attribute specified by
AttributeName
.To authorize other Amazon Web Services accounts to copy or restore a manual snapshot, set this list to include one or more Amazon Web Services account IDs, or
all
to make the manual DB snapshot restorable by any Amazon Web Services account. Do not add theall
value for any manual DB snapshots that contain private information that you don’t want available to all Amazon Web Services 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 Amazon Web Services accounts to copy or restore a manual snapshot, set this list to include one or more Amazon Web Services account identifiers, or
all
to remove authorization for any Amazon Web Services account to copy or restore the DB snapshot. If you specifyall
, an Amazon Web Services account whose account ID is explicitly added to therestore
attribute can still copy or restore the manual DB snapshot.(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.

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"
]
}
]
}
}
