Elastic Compute Service:ModifySecurityGroupEgressRule

Last Updated:Apr 11, 2024

Modifies the description of a security group rule. You can call this operation to modify only the description of a security group rule. If you want to modify other information, such as the policy, port range, and authorization object of the rule, log on to the Elastic Compute Service (ECS) console.

Operation description

In security group-related API documents, inbound traffic refers to the traffic that is sent by the source device and received at the destination device.

When you modify the rules of a security group by specifying the rule IDs, take note of the following limits:

  • A security group authorization object can be one of the following types: IP address or CIDR block, security group, and prefix list. The type of an existing security group authorization object cannot be modified. If the original authorization object is an IP address, you can change the authorization object to a different IP address or CIDR block, but you cannot change the authorization object to a security group or a prefix list.
  • The IP address family of the authorization object cannot be changed. For example, if the original authorization object is an IPv4 CIDR block, you cannot change the authorization object to an IPv6 CIDR block. If the original authorization object is a prefix list of an IPv4 address family, you cannot change the authorization object to a prefix list of an IPv6 address family.
  • The modified security group rule cannot be the same as other existing rules.
  • You cannot delete the value of a non-empty parameter. We recommend that you create a new rule and delete the original rule.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer.

Authorization information

There is currently no authorization information disclosed in the API.
