A CloudFormation AWS::Macie::AllowList.

The AWS::Macie::AllowList resource specifies an allow list. In Amazon Macie , an allow list defines specific text or a text pattern for Macie to ignore when it inspects data sources for sensitive data. If data matches text or a text pattern in an allow list, Macie doesn’t report the data in sensitive data findings or sensitive data discovery results, even if the data matches the criteria of a custom data identifier or a managed data identifier. You can create and use allow lists in all the AWS Regions where Macie is currently available except the Asia Pacific (Osaka) Region.

Macie supports two types of allow lists:

Predefined text - For this type of list ( S3WordsList ), you create a line-delimited plaintext file that lists specific text to ignore, and you store the file in an Amazon Simple Storage Service ( Amazon S3 ) bucket. You then configure settings for Macie to access the list in the bucket.

This type of list typically contains specific words, phrases, and other kinds of character sequences that aren’t sensitive, aren't likely to change, and don’t necessarily adhere to a common pattern. If you use this type of list, Macie doesn't report occurrences of text that exactly match a complete entry in the list. Macie treats each entry in the list as a string literal value. Matches aren't case sensitive.

Regular expression - For this type of list ( Regex ), you specify a regular expression that defines a text pattern to ignore. Unlike an allow list with predefined text, you store the regex and all other list settings in Macie .

This type of list is helpful if you want to specify text that isn’t sensitive but varies or is likely to change while also adhering to a common pattern. If you use this type of list, Macie doesn't report occurrences of text that completely match the pattern defined by the list.

For more information, see Defining sensitive data exceptions with allow lists in the Amazon Macie User Guide .

An AWS::Macie::Session resource must exist for an AWS account before you can create an AWS::Macie::AllowList resource for the account. Use a DependsOn attribute to ensure that an AWS::Macie::Session resource is created before other Macie resources are created for an account. For example, "DependsOn": "Session" .

attrArn

Type: string

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the allow list.

attrId

Type: string

The unique identifier for the allow list.

attrStatus

Type: string

The current status of the allow list, which indicates whether Amazon Macie can access and use the list's criteria.

If the list's criteria specify a regular expression ( Regex ), this value is typically OK . Macie can compile the expression. If the list's criteria specify an Amazon S3 object ( S3WordsList ), possible values are:

OK - Macie can retrieve and parse the contents of the object.
S3_OBJECT_ACCESS_DENIED - Macie isn't allowed to access the object or the object is encrypted with a customer managed AWS KMS key that Macie isn't allowed to use. Check the bucket policy and other permissions settings for the bucket and the object. If the object is encrypted, also ensure that it's encrypted with a key that Macie is allowed to use.
S3_OBJECT_EMPTY - Macie can retrieve the object but the object doesn't contain any content. Ensure that the object contains the correct entries. Also ensure that the list's criteria specify the correct bucket and object names.
S3_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND - The object doesn't exist in Amazon S3 . Ensure that the list's criteria specify the correct bucket and object names.
S3_OBJECT_OVERSIZE - Macie can retrieve the object. However, the object contains too many entries or its storage size exceeds the quota for an allow list. Try breaking the list into multiple files and ensure that each file doesn't exceed any quotas. Then configure list settings in Macie for each file.
S3_THROTTLED - Amazon S3 throttled the request to retrieve the object. Wait a few minutes and then try again.
S3_USER_ACCESS_DENIED - Amazon S3 denied the request to retrieve the object. If the specified object exists, you're not allowed to access it or it's encrypted with an AWS KMS key that you're not allowed to use. Work with your AWS administrator to ensure that the list's criteria specify the correct bucket and object names, and you have read access to the bucket and the object. If the object is encrypted, also ensure that it's encrypted with a key that you're allowed to use.
UNKNOWN_ERROR - A transient or internal error occurred when Macie attempted to retrieve or parse the object. Wait a few minutes and then try again. A list can also have this status if it's encrypted with a key that Amazon S3 and Macie can't access or use.

For more information, see Allow list options and requirements in the Amazon Macie User Guide .

addDeletionOverride(path)

public addDeletionOverride(path: string): void

Parameters

path string — The path of the value to delete.

Syntactic sugar for addOverride(path, undefined).

addDependsOn(target)

public addDependsOn(target: CfnResource): void

Parameters

target CfnResource

Indicates that this resource depends on another resource and cannot be provisioned unless the other resource has been successfully provisioned.

This can be used for resources across stacks (or nested stack) boundaries and the dependency will automatically be transferred to the relevant scope.

addMetadata(key, value)

public addMetadata(key: string, value: any): void

Parameters

key string
value any

Add a value to the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.)

addOverride(path, value)

public addOverride(path: string, value: any): void

Parameters

path string — - The path of the property, you can use dot notation to override values in complex types.
value any — - The value.

Adds an override to the synthesized CloudFormation resource.

To add a property override, either use addPropertyOverride or prefix path with "Properties." (i.e. Properties.TopicName).

If the override is nested, separate each nested level using a dot (.) in the path parameter. If there is an array as part of the nesting, specify the index in the path.

To include a literal . in the property name, prefix with a \. In most programming languages you will need to write this as "\\." because the \ itself will need to be escaped.

For example,

cfnResource.addOverride('Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.0.Projection.NonKeyAttributes', ['myattribute']);
cfnResource.addOverride('Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.1.ProjectionType', 'INCLUDE');

would add the overrides

"Properties": {
   "GlobalSecondaryIndexes": [
     {
       "Projection": {
         "NonKeyAttributes": [ "myattribute" ]
         ...
       }
       ...
     },
     {
       "ProjectionType": "INCLUDE"
       ...
     },
   ]
   ...
}

The value argument to addOverride will not be processed or translated in any way. Pass raw JSON values in here with the correct capitalization for CloudFormation. If you pass CDK classes or structs, they will be rendered with lowercased key names, and CloudFormation will reject the template.

addPropertyDeletionOverride(propertyPath)

public addPropertyDeletionOverride(propertyPath: string): void

Parameters

propertyPath string — The path to the property.

Adds an override that deletes the value of a property from the resource definition.

addPropertyOverride(propertyPath, value)

public addPropertyOverride(propertyPath: string, value: any): void

Parameters

propertyPath string — The path of the property.
value any — The value.

Adds an override to a resource property.

Syntactic sugar for addOverride("Properties.<...>", value).

applyRemovalPolicy(policy?, options?)

public applyRemovalPolicy(policy?: RemovalPolicy, options?: RemovalPolicyOptions): void

Parameters

policy RemovalPolicy
options RemovalPolicyOptions

Sets the deletion policy of the resource based on the removal policy specified.

The Removal Policy controls what happens to this resource when it stops being managed by CloudFormation, either because you've removed it from the CDK application or because you've made a change that requires the resource to be replaced.

The resource can be deleted (RemovalPolicy.DESTROY), or left in your AWS account for data recovery and cleanup later (RemovalPolicy.RETAIN).

getAtt(attributeName)

public getAtt(attributeName: string): Reference

Parameters

attributeName string — The name of the attribute.

Returns

Reference

Returns a token for an runtime attribute of this resource.

Ideally, use generated attribute accessors (e.g. resource.arn), but this can be used for future compatibility in case there is no generated attribute.

getMetadata(key)

public getMetadata(key: string): any

Parameters

key string

Returns

any

Retrieve a value value from the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.)

inspect(inspector)

public inspect(inspector: TreeInspector): void

Parameters

inspector TreeInspector — - tree inspector to collect and process attributes.

Examines the CloudFormation resource and discloses attributes.

overrideLogicalId(newLogicalId)

public overrideLogicalId(newLogicalId: string): void

Parameters

newLogicalId string — The new logical ID to use for this stack element.

Overrides the auto-generated logical ID with a specific ID.

toString()

public toString(): string

Returns

string

Returns a string representation of this construct.

protected renderProperties(props)

protected renderProperties(props: { [string]: any }): { [string]: any }

Parameters

props { [string]: any }

Returns

{ [string]: any }
