Policy L2 construct ​

The AWS::IAM::Policy resource associates an inline IAM policy with IAM users, roles, or groups. For more information about IAM policies, see Overview of IAM Policies in the IAM User Guide guide.

Example ​

ts
declare const postAuthFn: lambda.Function;

const userpool = new cognito.UserPool(this, 'myuserpool', {
  lambdaTriggers: {
    postAuthentication: postAuthFn,
  },
});

// provide permissions to describe the user pool scoped to the ARN the user pool
postAuthFn.role?.attachInlinePolicy(new iam.Policy(this, 'userpool-policy', {
  statements: [new iam.PolicyStatement({
    actions: ['cognito-idp:DescribeUserPool'],
    resources: [userpool.userPoolArn],
  })],
}));
python
# post_auth_fn: lambda.Function


userpool = cognito.UserPool(self, "myuserpool",
    lambda_triggers=cognito.UserPoolTriggers(
        post_authentication=post_auth_fn
    )
)

# provide permissions to describe the user pool scoped to the ARN the user pool
post_auth_fn.role.attach_inline_policy(iam.Policy(self, "userpool-policy",
    statements=[iam.PolicyStatement(
        actions=["cognito-idp:DescribeUserPool"],
        resources=[userpool.user_pool_arn]
    )]
))
java
Function postAuthFn;


UserPool userpool = UserPool.Builder.create(this, "myuserpool")
        .lambdaTriggers(UserPoolTriggers.builder()
                .postAuthentication(postAuthFn)
                .build())
        .build();

// provide permissions to describe the user pool scoped to the ARN the user pool
postAuthFn.role.attachInlinePolicy(Policy.Builder.create(this, "userpool-policy")
        .statements(List.of(PolicyStatement.Builder.create()
                .actions(List.of("cognito-idp:DescribeUserPool"))
                .resources(List.of(userpool.getUserPoolArn()))
                .build()))
        .build());
csharp
// Install: dotnet add package Amazon.CDK.Lib
Function postAuthFn;


var userpool = new UserPool(this, "myuserpool", new UserPoolProps {
    LambdaTriggers = new UserPoolTriggers {
        PostAuthentication = postAuthFn
    }
});

// provide permissions to describe the user pool scoped to the ARN the user pool
postAuthFn.Role.AttachInlinePolicy(new Policy(this, "userpool-policy", new PolicyProps {
    Statements = new [] { new PolicyStatement(new PolicyStatementProps {
        Actions = new [] { "cognito-idp:DescribeUserPool" },
        Resources = new [] { userpool.UserPoolArn }
    }) }
}));
go
// Install: go get github.com/aws/aws-cdk-go/awscdk/v2
var postAuthFn Function


userpool := cognito.NewUserPool(this, jsii.String("myuserpool"), &UserPoolProps{
	LambdaTriggers: &UserPoolTriggers{
		PostAuthentication: postAuthFn,
	},
})

// provide permissions to describe the user pool scoped to the ARN the user pool
postAuthFn.Role.AttachInlinePolicy(iam.NewPolicy(this, jsii.String("userpool-policy"), &PolicyProps{
	Statements: []PolicyStatement{
		iam.NewPolicyStatement(&PolicyStatementProps{
			Actions: []*string{
				jsii.String("cognito-idp:DescribeUserPool"),

Initializer ​

ts
new Policy(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: PolicyProps)
python
Policy(scope: Construct, id: str, props: typing.Optional[PolicyProps] = None)
java
new Policy(Construct scope, String id, PolicyProps props)
csharp
new Policy(Construct scope, string id, PolicyProps? props = null)
go
NewPolicy(Scope Construct, Id *string, Props PolicyProps)

Construct Props ​

Initial PolicyDocument to use for this Policy.

Default: An empty policy.

If omited, any PolicyStatement provided in the statements property will be applied against the empty default PolicyDocument.

forcebooleanforceboolforceBooleanForceboolForce*bool= false#
Force creation of an `AWS::IAM::Policy`.
notes

Unless set to true, this Policy construct will not materialize to an AWS::IAM::Policy CloudFormation resource in case it would have no effect (for example, if it remains unattached to an IAM identity or if it has no statements). This is generally desired behavior, since it prevents creating invalid--and hence undeployable--CloudFormation templates.

In cases where you know the policy must be created and it is actually an error if no statements have been added to it or it remains unattached to an IAM identity, you can set this to true.

groupsIGroup[]groupstyping.List[IGroup]groupsList<IGroup>GroupsIGroup[]Groups*[]IGroup#
Groups to attach this policy to.

Default: No groups.

You can also use attachToGroup(group) to attach this policy to a group.

policyNamestringpolicy_namestrpolicyNameStringPolicyNamestringPolicyName*string#
The name of the policy.

Default: Uses the logical ID of the policy resource, which is ensured to be unique within the stack.

If you specify multiple policies for an entity, specify unique names. For example, if you specify a list of policies for an IAM role, each policy must have a unique name.

rolesIRole[]rolestyping.List[IRole]rolesList<IRole>RolesIRole[]Roles*[]IRole#
Roles to attach this policy to.

Default: No roles.

You can also use attachToRole(role) to attach this policy to a role.

statementsPolicyStatement[]statementstyping.List[PolicyStatement]statementsList<PolicyStatement>StatementsPolicyStatement[]Statements*[]PolicyStatement#
Initial set of permissions to add to this policy document.

Default: No statements.

You can also use addStatements(...statement) to add permissions later.

usersIUser[]userstyping.List[IUser]usersList<IUser>UsersIUser[]Users*[]IUser#
Users to attach this policy to.

Default: No users.

You can also use attachToUser(user) to attach this policy to a user.

Properties ​

The policy document.
The environment this resource belongs to.
notes

For resources that are created and managed in a Stack (those created by creating new class instances like new Role(), new Bucket(), etc.), this is always the same as the environment of the stack they belong to.

For referenced resources (those obtained from referencing methods like Role.fromRoleArn(), Bucket.fromBucketName(), etc.), they might be different than the stack they were imported into.

Methods ​

addStatements(...statement: PolicyStatement[]): voiddef add_statements(self, statement: PolicyStatement) -> Nonepublic void addStatements(PolicyStatement statement)public void AddStatements(PolicyStatement statement)func AddStatements(Statement PolicyStatement)#
Adds a statement to the policy document.
applyCrossStackReferenceStrength(strength: ReferenceStrength): voiddef apply_cross_stack_reference_strength(self, strength: ReferenceStrength) -> Nonepublic void applyCrossStackReferenceStrength(ReferenceStrength strength)public void ApplyCrossStackReferenceStrength(ReferenceStrength strength)func ApplyCrossStackReferenceStrength(Strength ReferenceStrength)#
Override the cross-stack reference strength for this resource.
notes · 1 parameter

When set, any cross-stack reference to this resource will use the specified mechanism instead of the global default determined by the @aws-cdk/core:defaultCrossStackReferences context key. This is useful for selectively weakening specific references to avoid the "deadly embrace" problem without changing the app-wide default.

Parameters

  • strengthstrengthstrengthstrengthStrength — - The reference strength to use for this resource.
applyRemovalPolicy(policy: RemovalPolicy): voiddef apply_removal_policy(self, policy: RemovalPolicy) -> Nonepublic void applyRemovalPolicy(RemovalPolicy policy)public void ApplyRemovalPolicy(RemovalPolicy policy)func ApplyRemovalPolicy(Policy RemovalPolicy)#

notes

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).

Attaches this policy to a role.
attachToUser(user: IUser): voiddef attach_to_user(self, user: IUser) -> Nonepublic void attachToUser(IUser user)public void AttachToUser(IUser user)func AttachToUser(User IUser)#

Checks if `x` is a construct.
notes · 1 parameter · returns

Use this method instead of instanceof to properly detect Construct instances, even when the construct library is symlinked.

Explanation: in JavaScript, multiple copies of the constructs library on disk are seen as independent, completely different libraries. As a consequence, the class Construct in each copy of the constructs library is seen as a different class, and an instance of one class will not test as instanceof the other class. npm install will not create installations like this, but users may manually symlink construct libraries together or use a monorepo tool: in those cases, multiple copies of the constructs library can be accidentally installed, and instanceof will behave unpredictably. It is safest to avoid using instanceof, and using this type-testing method instead.

Parameters

  • xxxxX — Any object.

Returns: true if x is an object created from a class which extends Construct.

isOwnedResource(construct: IConstruct): boolean@staticmethod def is_owned_resource(construct: IConstruct) -> boolpublic static Boolean isOwnedResource(IConstruct construct)public static bool IsOwnedResource(IConstruct construct)func IsOwnedResource(Construct IConstruct) *boolstatic#
Returns true if the construct was created by CDK, and false otherwise.
isResource(construct: IConstruct): boolean@staticmethod def is_resource(construct: IConstruct) -> boolpublic static Boolean isResource(IConstruct construct)public static bool IsResource(IConstruct construct)func IsResource(Construct IConstruct) *boolstatic#
Check whether the given construct is a Resource.
toString(): stringdef to_string(self, ) -> strpublic String toString()public string ToString()func ToString() *string#
Returns a string representation of this construct.
with(...mixins: IMixin[]): IConstructdef with(self, mixins: IMixin) -> IConstructpublic IConstruct with(IMixin mixins)public IConstruct With(IMixin mixins)func With(Mixins IMixin) IConstruct#
Applies one or more mixins to this construct.

Mixins are applied in order. The list of constructs is captured at the start of the call, so constructs added by a mixin will not be visited. Use multiple with() calls if subsequent mixins should apply to added constructs.
