create_grant¶
Operation¶
async
¶
create_grant(input: CreateGrantInput, plugins: list[Plugin] | None = None) -> CreateGrantOutput
Adds a grant to a KMS key.
A grant is a policy instrument that allows Amazon Web Services principals to use KMS keys in cryptographic operations. It also can allow them to view a KMS key (DescribeKey) and create and manage grants. When authorizing access to a KMS key, grants are considered along with key policies and IAM policies. Grants are often used for temporary permissions because you can create one, use its permissions, and delete it without changing your key policies or IAM policies.
You can create a grant for an Amazon Web Services principal (IAM user,
IAM role, or Amazon Web Services account) by specifying the
GranteePrincipal parameter. You can also create a grant for an Amazon
Web Services service principal by specifying the
GranteeServicePrincipal parameter.
For detailed information about grants, including grant terminology, see Grants in KMS in the Key Management Service Developer Guide . For examples of creating grants in several programming languages, see Use CreateGrant with an Amazon Web Services SDK or CLI.
The CreateGrant operation returns a GrantToken and a GrantId.
- When you create, retire, or revoke a grant, there might be a brief delay, usually less than five minutes, until the grant is available throughout KMS. This state is known as eventual consistency. Once the grant has achieved eventual consistency, the grantee principal can use the permissions in the grant without identifying the grant.
However, to use the permissions in the grant immediately, use the
GrantToken that CreateGrant returns. For details, see Using a
grant
token
in the Key Management Service Developer Guide .
- The
CreateGrantoperation also returns aGrantId. You can use theGrantIdand a key identifier to identify the grant in the RetireGrant and RevokeGrant operations. To find the grant ID, use the ListGrants or ListRetirableGrants operations.
The KMS key that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state. For details, see Key states of KMS keys in the Key Management Service Developer Guide.
Cross-account use: Yes. To perform this operation on a KMS key in a
different Amazon Web Services account, specify the key ARN in the value
of the KeyId parameter.
Required permissions: kms:CreateGrant (key policy)

Eventual consistency: The KMS API follows an eventual consistency model. For more information, see KMS eventual consistency.

constraints: GrantConstraints | None = ...
Specifies a grant constraint.
Warning
Do not include confidential or sensitive information in this field. This field may be displayed in plaintext in CloudTrail logs and other output.
KMS supports the following grant constraints.
EncryptionContextEqualsandEncryptionContextSubset--- These encryption context grant constraints allow the permissions in the grant only when the encryption context in the request matches (EncryptionContextEquals) or includes (EncryptionContextSubset) the encryption context specified in the constraint.
Encryption context grant constraints are supported only on grant
operations
that include an EncryptionContext parameter, such as cryptographic
operations on symmetric encryption KMS keys. You cannot use an
encryption context grant constraint for cryptographic operations with
asymmetric KMS keys or HMAC KMS keys. Operations with these keys
don't support an encryption context. Grants with encryption context
grant constraints can include the DescribeKey and RetireGrant
operations, but the constraint doesn't apply to these operations. If
a grant with an encryption context grant constraint includes the
CreateGrant operation, the constraint requires that any grants
created with the CreateGrant permission have an equally strict or
stricter encryption context constraint.
Each constraint value can include up to 8 encryption context pairs. The encryption context value in each constraint cannot exceed 384 characters. For more information about encryption context, see Encryption context in the Key Management Service Developer Guide .
SourceArn--- This grant constraint allows the permissions in the grant only when the request is made on behalf of a specific Amazon Web Services resource, identified by its Amazon Resource Name (ARN). This is effectively the same as having the aws:SourceArn global condition key in the grant. The SourceArn constraint is supported on grants for all types of KMS keys and can also be applied to the DescribeKey operation when specified in the request. However, it does not apply to RetireGrant operation.
For information about grant constraints, see Using grant constraints in the Key Management Service Developer Guide.

dry_run: bool | None = ...
Checks if your request will succeed. DryRun is an optional parameter.
To learn more about how to use this parameter, see Testing your permissions in the Key Management Service Developer Guide.

¶
A list of grant tokens.
Use a grant token when your permission to call this operation comes from a new grant that has not yet achieved eventual consistency. For more information, see Grant token and Using a grant token in the Key Management Service Developer Guide.

¶
grantee_principal: str | None = ...
The identity that gets the permissions specified in the grant.
To specify the grantee principal, use the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an Amazon Web Services principal. Valid principals include Amazon Web Services accounts, IAM users, IAM roles, federated users, and assumed role users. For help with the ARN syntax for a principal, see IAM ARNs in the Identity and Access Management User Guide .
You must specify either GranteePrincipal or GranteeServicePrincipal,
but not both.
class-attribute
instance-attribute
¶
grantee_service_principal: str | None = ...
The Amazon Web Services service principal that gets the permissions specified in the grant.
When you specify a GranteeServicePrincipal, you must also specify a
SourceArn grant constraint. In addition, you must specify either a
RetiringPrincipal or a RetiringServicePrincipal.
You must specify either GranteePrincipal or GranteeServicePrincipal,
but not both.
class-attribute
instance-attribute
¶
key_id: str | None = ...
Identifies the KMS key for the grant. The grant gives principals permission to use this KMS key.
Specify the key ID or key ARN of the KMS key. To specify a KMS key in a different Amazon Web Services account, you must use the key ARN.
For example:
-
Key ID:
1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab -
Key ARN:
arn:aws:kms:us-east-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab
To get the key ID and key ARN for a KMS key, use ListKeys or DescribeKey.

¶
name: str | None = ...
A friendly name for the grant. Use this value to prevent the unintended creation of duplicate grants when retrying this request.
Warning
Do not include confidential or sensitive information in this field. This field may be displayed in plaintext in CloudTrail logs and other output.
When this value is absent, all CreateGrant requests result in a new
grant with a unique GrantId even if all the supplied parameters are
identical. This can result in unintended duplicates when you retry the
CreateGrant request.
When this value is present, you can retry a CreateGrant request with
identical parameters; if the grant already exists, the original
GrantId is returned without creating a new grant. Note that the
returned grant token is unique with every CreateGrant request, even
when a duplicate GrantId is returned. All grant tokens for the same
grant ID can be used interchangeably.
class-attribute
instance-attribute
¶
A list of operations that the grant permits.
This list must include only operations that are permitted in a grant.
Also, the operation must be supported on the KMS key. For example, you
cannot create a grant for a symmetric encryption KMS key that allows the
Sign operation, or a grant for an asymmetric KMS key that allows the
GenerateDataKey operation. If you try, KMS returns a ValidationError
exception. For details, see Grant
operations
in the Key Management Service Developer Guide.

instance-attribute
¶
retiring_principal: str | None = ...
The principal that has permission to use the RetireGrant operation to retire the grant.
To specify the principal, use the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an Amazon Web Services principal. Valid principals include Amazon Web Services accounts, IAM users, IAM roles, federated users, and assumed role users. For help with the ARN syntax for a principal, see IAM ARNs in the Identity and Access Management User Guide .
The grant determines the retiring principal. Other principals might have permission to retire the grant or revoke the grant. For details, see RevokeGrant and Retiring and revoking grants in the Key Management Service Developer Guide.
You can specify either RetiringPrincipal or
RetiringServicePrincipal, but not both.

¶
retiring_service_principal: str | None = ...
