Alibaba Cloud Linux:InitialSysom

Last Updated:Sep 11, 2026

Initializes SysOM to ensure that the service-linked role exists.

Operation description

Some SysOM API operations require role assumption based on the AliyunServiceRoleForSysom service-linked role. Before using SysOM features, invoke this operation to perform initialization and ensure that the service-linked role has been created.

  • check_only: If this parameter is set to True, only a check is performed to determine whether the service-linked role exists. The service-linked role is not created. If this parameter is set to False or left empty, automatic creation of the service-linked role is performed if it does not exist.

Note

Note: When you call this operation to initialize the role, you agree to the user agreement of the operating system console by default. For more information, see Operating system console overview and Alibaba Cloud Service Trial Terms.

Test

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.
