AttachCenChildInstance - Cloud Enterprise Network - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Attaches a network instance to a Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN) instance.

Operation description

CEN allows you to attach a network instance that belongs to another Alibaba Cloud account to your CEN instance. Before you attach the network instance, CEN must acquire permissions to access the network instance that belongs to another Alibaba Cloud account.

For more information about how to grant CEN permissions on virtual private clouds (VPCs) that belong to another Alibaba Cloud account, see GrantInstanceToCen.
For more information about how to grant CEN permissions on Cloud Connect Network (CCN) instances that belong to another Alibaba Cloud account, see GrantInstanceToCbn.
By default, you cannot grant permissions on virtual border routers (VBRs) that belong to another Alibaba Cloud account to a CEN instance. If you need to use this feature, contact your account manager.

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a 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 support 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 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 that are applicable across all RAM-integrated services. For more information, see Common condition keys.
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.
