Elastic Compute Service:AuthorizeSecurityGroupEgress

Last Updated:Mar 13, 2024

Creates outbound rules in a security group. You can use the created rules to allow or deny outbound traffic from instances in the security group to other objects.

Operation description

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

When you call this operation, take note of the following items:

  • The total number of inbound and outbound security group rules in each security group cannot exceed 200. For more information, see the "Security group limits" section in .

  • You can set Policy to accept or drop for each security group rule to allow or deny access.

  • The valid value of Priority ranges from 1 to 100. A smaller value indicates a higher priority.

  • When several security group rules have the same priority, drop rules take precedence.

  • The destination can be a CIDR block specified by DestCidrIp, Ipv6DestCidrIp, or DestPrefixListId or can be Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances in a security group specified by DestGroupId.

  • For advanced security groups, security groups cannot be used as authorization objects.

  • For each basic security group, a maximum of 20 security groups can be used as authorization objects.

  • If the specified security group rule exists in the security group, the call is successful but no security group rule is created.

  • The Permissions.N prefix is added to some parameters to generate new parameters. Original parameters and corresponding parameters prefixed with Permissions.N cannot be configured together. We recommend that you use parameters prefixed with Permissions.N.

  • You can determine a security group rule by configuring one of the following groups of parameters. You cannot determine a security group rule by configuring only one parameter.

    • Parameters used to specify a security group rule that controls access to a specified CIDR block: IpProtocol, PortRange, SourcePortRange (optional), NicType, Policy, and DestCidrIp. Sample request:

      http(s)://ecs.aliyuncs.com/?Action=AuthorizeSecurityGroupEgress
      &SecurityGroupId=sg-bp67acfmxazb4ph***
      &Permissions.1.IpProtocol=ICMP
      &Permissions.1.DestCidrIp=10.0.0.0/8
      &Permissions.1.PortRange=-1/-1
      &Permissions.1.NicType=intranet
      &Permissions.1.Policy=Accept
      &<Common request parameters>
      
    • Parameters used to specify a security group rule that controls access to a security group: IpProtocol, PortRange, SourcePortRange (optional), NicType, Policy, DestGroupOwnerAccount, and DestGroupId. Sample request:

      http(s)://ecs.aliyuncs.com/?Action=AuthorizeSecurityGroupEgress
      &SecurityGroupId=sg-bp67acfmxazb4ph***
      &Permissions.1.DestGroupId=sg-bp67acfmxazb4pi***

      &Permissions.1.NicType=intranet
      &Permissions.1.Policy=Drop
      &<Common request parameters>
      
    • Parameters used to specify a security group rule that controls access to a prefix list: IpProtocol, PortRange, SourcePortRange (optional), NicType, Policy, and DestPrefixListId. In this case, prefix lists support only security groups in virtual private clouds (VPCs). NicType must be set to intranet. Sample request:

      http(s)://ecs.aliyuncs.com/?Action=AuthorizeSecurityGroupEgress
      &SecurityGroupId=sg-bp67acfmxazb4ph***
      &Permissions.1.DestPrefixListId=pl-x1j1k5ykzqlixdcy****
