Container Registry:GetAuthorizationToken

Last Updated:Jun 23, 2026

Retrieves a temporary account and temporary password for logging on to an instance.

Operation description

The temporary password is valid for 1 hour. If you use STS to make the request, the validity period of the temporary password is the same as that of the STS token used in the request.

  • The permissions granted by a temporary token obtained through an Alibaba Cloud account are the same as the permissions granted when you log on to the instance with the username and password of the Alibaba Cloud account.

  • The permissions granted by a temporary token obtained through a RAM user are the same as the permissions granted when you log on to the instance with the username and password of the RAM user.

  • The permissions granted by a temporary token obtained through STS are the same as the permissions of the STS token.

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
