Viewing a container policy

You can use the console or the AWS CLI to view the resource-based policy of a container.

To view a container policy (console)

  1. Open the MediaStore console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/mediastore/.

  2. On the Containers page, choose the container name.

    The container details page appears. The policy is displayed in the Container policy section.

To view a container policy (AWS CLI)

  • In the AWS CLI, use the get-container-policy command:

    aws mediastore get-container-policy --container-name ExampleLiveDemo --region us-west-2

    The following example shows the return value:

    {
  "Policy": {
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
      {
