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.

Single-instance SQL assignment

  • NodeOutput example:

{
    "outputs":[
        {
            /*
            Variable extraction settings
            {
                "row":0, // Row. -1 indicates all rows.
                "column":-1, // Column. -1 indicates all columns.
                /*
                Separator
                When all rows or all columns are selected, a connector must be specified. The variable return value is a string.
                */
                "combiner":"," 
            }
            */
            "extractMethod":"{\"row\":0,\"column\":-1,\"combiner\":\",\"}", 
            "variableName":"var", // Variable name
            "description":"For demo" // Variable description
        }
    ]
}

Script code/ECS remote command

  • NodeOutput example:

{
    "outputs":[
        {
            "extractMethod":"json", // Fixed to JSON
            "variableName":"var",  // Variable name
            "description":"demo desc" // Variable description
        }
    ]
