Cloud Enterprise Network:ModifyCenAttribute

Last Updated:Aug 07, 2025

The ModifyCenAttribute operation modifies the name and description of a Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN) instance.

Operation description

ModifyCenAttribute is an asynchronous operation. After you send a request, the system returns a RequestId, but the CEN instance is not modified immediately. The system modifies the instance in the background. You can call the DescribeCens operation to query the status of the CEN instance.

  • If a CEN instance is in the Modifying state, the modification is in progress. In this state, you can only query the instance and cannot perform other operations.

  • If a CEN instance is in the Active state, the modification is complete.

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 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 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.
