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.

Request parameters

Parameter

Type

Required

Description

Example

ReportTemplateName

string

Yes

The name of the report template.

test-report-name

ReportTemplateDescription

string

No

The description of the report template.

test-report-description

ReportGranularity

string

No

The aggregation granularity of the report. From the management account perspective, the following values are supported: AllInOne (aggregates all accounts into a single report), GroupByAggregator (aggregates by account group and generates a compressed file), and GroupByAccount (generates a separate report for each account and generates a compressed file). From the member accounts perspective, only GroupByAccount is supported. This parameter is effectively required. If omitted, the server returns Invalid.ReportGranularity.Value (400) and does not use a default value.

Valid values:

  • AllInOne :

    Aggregates all accounts within the template scope into a single report.

  • GroupByAggregator :

    Aggregates reports by account group and generates a compressed file.

  • GroupByAccount :

    Generates a separate report for each account (default) and generates a compressed file.

GroupByAccount

ReportFileFormats

string

No

The format of the report. Currently, only excel is supported.

excel

ReportLanguage

string

No

The language of the report. Valid values: zh-CN and en-US. Default value: en-US.

zh-CN

SubscriptionFrequency

string

No

The subscription frequency of the report. If this field is not empty, it specifies a Quartz-format cron expression that triggers subscription notifications.

The format is: second minute hour day month week. The following are common cron expression examples:

  • Execute at 00:00 every day: 0 0 0 * * ?

  • Execute at 15:30 every Monday: 0 30 15 ? * MON

  • Execute at 02:00 on the 1st of every month: 0 0 2 1 * ?

Where:

  • "*" indicates any value.

  • ? is used in the day and week fields to indicate that no specific value is specified.

  • MON indicates Monday.

Note

The trigger time is in UTC+8. Convert the cron expression settings based on your time zone.

Note

The system attempts to trigger notifications based on the cron expression time, but delays may occur due to report generation status. The cron expression limits notifications to at most once per day for the same template.

Note

In addition to using MON to represent Monday, you can also use numbers. Note that in the Quartz framework: 1 represents Sunday, 2 represents Monday, 3 represents Tuesday, 4 represents Wednesday, 5 represents Thursday, 6 represents Friday, and 7 represents Saturday.

0 0 9 * * ?

ReportScope

array<object>

No

The report scope array that specifies the rule scope included in the audit report. The ReportScope items in the array follow OR logic, which means they are additive.

Note

For example, if the array size is 2, the first ReportScope specifies rule In cr-1, and the second ReportScope specifies rule In cr-2, the rule scope of this report includes both cr-1 and cr-2.

object

No

The report scope.

Key

string

No

The key of the report scope. Valid values:

  • AggregatorId

  • CompliancePackId

  • RuleId

Valid values:

  • CompliancePackId :

    compliance pack ID.

  • RuleId :

    rule ID.

  • AggregatorId :

    account group ID.

RuleId

Value

string

No

The value of the report scope. Multiple items of the same type, such as multiple rule IDs, can be separated by commas (,).
