Elastic Compute Service:ModifySecurityGroupPolicy

Last Updated:Mar 19, 2024

Modifies the internal access control policy of a basic security group. The internal access control policies of advanced security groups cannot be modified.

Operation description

Take note of the following items:

  • When InnerAccessPolicy is set to Accept for a security group, the instances in the security group can communicate with each other. In this case, the Accept internal access control policy takes precedence over user-created security group rules to keep instances in the security group accessible to each other.
  • When InnerAccessPolicy is set to Drop for a security group, the instances in the security group are isolated from each other. In this case, user-created security group rules take precedence over the Drop internal access control policy and can be used to allow access between the instances. For example, you can call the AuthorizeSecurityGroup operation to create an inbound security group rule that allows the instances in the security group to communicate with each other.
  • You can call the DescribeSecurityGroupAttribute operation to query the internal access policy of a security group.
