AWS::Lambda::Permission - AWS CloudFormation

AWS::Lambda::Permission

The AWS::Lambda::Permission resource grants an AWS service or another account permission to use a function. You can apply the policy at the function level, or specify a qualifier to restrict access to a single version or alias. If you use a qualifier, the invoker must use the full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of that version or alias to invoke the function.

To grant permission to another account, specify the account ID as the Principal. To grant permission to an organization defined in AWS Organizations, specify the organization ID as the PrincipalOrgID. For AWS services, the principal is a domain-style identifier defined by the service, like s3.amazonaws.com or sns.amazonaws.com. For AWS services, you can also specify the ARN of the associated resource as the SourceArn. If you grant permission to a service principal without specifying the source, other accounts could potentially configure resources in their account to invoke your Lambda function.

If your function has a function URL, you can specify the FunctionUrlAuthType parameter. This adds a condition to your permission that only applies when your function URL's AuthType matches the specified FunctionUrlAuthType. For more information about the AuthType parameter, see Security and auth model for Lambda function URLs.

This resource adds a statement to a resource-based permission policy for the function. For more information about function policies, see Lambda Function Policies.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

JSON

{ "Type" : "AWS::Lambda::Permission", "Properties" : { "Action" : String, "EventSourceToken" : String, "FunctionName" : String, "FunctionUrlAuthType" : String, "Principal" : String, "PrincipalOrgID" : String, "SourceAccount" : String, "SourceArn" : String } }

YAML

Type: AWS::Lambda::Permission Properties: Action: String EventSourceToken: String FunctionName: String FunctionUrlAuthType: String Principal: String PrincipalOrgID: String SourceAccount: String SourceArn: String

Properties

Action

The action that the principal can use on the function. For example, lambda:InvokeFunction or lambda:GetFunction.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Pattern: ^(lambda:[*]|lambda:[a-zA-Z]+|[*])$

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 256

Update requires: Replacement

EventSourceToken

For Alexa Smart Home functions, a token that the invoker must supply.

Required: No

Type: String

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9._\-]+$

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 256

Update requires: Replacement

FunctionName

The name or ARN of the Lambda function, version, or alias.

Name formats
  • Function namemy-function (name-only), my-function:v1 (with alias).

  • Function ARNarn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:123456789012:function:my-function.

  • Partial ARN123456789012:function:my-function.

You can append a version number or alias to any of the formats. The length constraint applies only to the full ARN. If you specify only the function name, it is limited to 64 characters in length.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Pattern: ^(arn:(aws[a-zA-Z-]*)?:lambda:)?([a-z]{2}((-gov)|(-iso([a-z]?)))?-[a-z]+-\d{1}:)?(\d{12}:)?(function:)?([a-zA-Z0-9-_]+)(:(\$LATEST|[a-zA-Z0-9-_]+))?$

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 140

Update requires: Replacement

FunctionUrlAuthType

The type of authentication that your function URL uses. Set to AWS_IAM if you want to restrict access to authenticated users only. Set to NONE if you want to bypass IAM authentication to create a public endpoint. For more information, see Security and auth model for Lambda function URLs.

Required: No

Type: String

Allowed values: AWS_IAM | NONE

Update requires: Replacement

Principal

The AWS service, AWS account, IAM user, or IAM role that invokes the function. If you specify a service, use SourceArn or SourceAccount to limit who can invoke the function through that service.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Pattern: ^.*$

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 256

Update requires: Replacement

PrincipalOrgID

The identifier for your organization in AWS Organizations. Use this to grant permissions to all the AWS accounts under this organization.

Required: No

Type: String

Pattern: ^o-[a-z0-9]{10,32}$

Minimum: 12

Maximum: 34

Update requires: Replacement

SourceAccount

For AWS service, the ID of the AWS account that owns the resource. Use this together with SourceArn to ensure that the specified account owns the resource. It is possible for an Amazon S3 bucket to be deleted by its owner and recreated by another account.

Required: No

Type: String

Pattern: ^\d{12}$

Minimum: 12

Maximum: 12

Update requires: Replacement

SourceArn

For AWS services, the ARN of the AWS resource that invokes the function. For example, an Amazon S3 bucket or Amazon SNS topic.

Note that Lambda configures the comparison using the StringLike operator.

Required: No

Type: String

Pattern: ^arn:(aws[a-zA-Z0-9-]*):([a-zA-Z0-9\-])+:([a-z]{2}((-gov)|(-iso([a-z]?)))?-[a-z]+-\d{1})?:(\d{12})?:(.*)$

Minimum: 12

Maximum: 1024
