create-policy

Description

Creates an IoT policy.

The created policy is the default version for the policy. This operation creates a policy version with a version identifier of 1 and sets 1 as the policy’s default version.

Requires permission to access the CreatePolicy action.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  create-policy
--policy-name <value>
--policy-document <value>
[--tags <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--policy-name (string)

The policy name.

--policy-document (string)

The JSON document that describes the policy. policyDocument must have a minimum length of 1, with a maximum length of 2048, excluding whitespace.

--tags (list)

Metadata which can be used to manage the policy.

Note

For URI Request parameters use format: …key1=value1&key2=value2…

For the CLI command-line parameter use format: &&tags “key1=value1&key2=value2…”

For the cli-input-json file use format: “tags”: “key1=value1&key2=value2…”

(structure)

A set of key/value pairs that are used to manage the resource.

Key -> (string)

The tag’s key.

Value -> (string)

The tag’s value.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To create an AWS IoT policy

The following create-policy example creates an AWS IoT policy named TemperatureSensorPolicy. The policy.json file contains statements that allow AWS IoT policy actions.

aws iot create-policy \
    --policy-name TemperatureSensorPolicy \
    --policy-document file://policy.json

Contents of policy.json:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "iot:Publish",
                "iot:Receive"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:iot:us-west-2:123456789012:topic/topic_1",
                "arn:aws:iot:us-west-2:123456789012:topic/topic_2"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "iot:Subscribe"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:iot:us-west-2:123456789012:topicfilter/topic_1",
                "arn:aws:iot:us-west-2:123456789012:topicfilter/topic_2"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "iot:Connect"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:iot:us-west-2:123456789012:client/basicPubSub"
            ]
        }
    ]
}
