What is a custom policy?

Resource Access Management (RAM) policies are classified into system policies and custom policies. You can manage custom policies based on your business requirements.

  • After you create a custom policy, you must attach the policy to a RAM user, RAM user group, or RAM role. This way, the permissions that are specified in the policy can be granted to the principal.

  • You can delete a RAM policy that is not attached to a principal. If the RAM policy is attached to a principal, before you can delete the RAM policy you must detach the RAM policy from the principal.

  • Custom policies support version control. You can manage custom policy versions based on the version management mechanism provided by RAM.
