Elastic Compute Service:RevokeSecurityGroupEgress

Last Updated:Jun 18, 2026

Deletes one or more outbound security group rules from a specified security group.

Operation description

Important On July 8, 2024, Alibaba Cloud adjusted the validation rules for this operation. When you attempt to delete a security group rule that does not exist, the operation now returns the error code "InvalidSecurityGroupRule.RuleNotExist" instead of a success response. Ensure that your application is compatible with this error code to avoid impacts on your online services.
You can use one of the following methods to pass parameters to delete security group rules:

  • Delete rules by specifying security group rule IDs (recommended).

    • If the specified security group rule ID does not exist, an error is returned.

  • Delete rules by specifying the Permissions parameter.

    • If the matching security group rule does not exist, the invoke succeeds but no rule is deleted.

    • The following parameters are required to delete a security group rule:
      • Destination settings: Specify one of DestCidrIp (IPv4 address), Ipv6DestCidrIp (IPv6 address), DestPrefixListId (prefix list ID), or DestGroupId (destination security group).

      • Destination port range: PortRange.

      • Protocol type: IpProtocol.

      • Access policy: Policy.

Note

You cannot specify both security group rule IDs and the Permissions parameter at the same time.

Request examples

  • Delete by security group rule ID.

"SecurityGroupRuleId":["sgr-bpdfmk****","sgr-bpdfmg****"] // Specify the security group rule IDs.
  • Delete by IP address CIDR block.

    "DestCidrIp":"10.0.0.0/8", // Specify the destination IP address CIDR block.
    "PortRange":"22/22", // Specify the destination port range.
    "Policy":"accept" // Specify the access policy.
  }
]
  • Delete by destination security group.

"SecurityGroupId":"sg-bp67acfmxazb4ph***",

    "IpProtocol":"TCP",
    "PortRange":"22/22",
    "Policy":"accept"
  }
]
  • Delete by prefix list.

"SecurityGroupId":"sg-bp67acfmxazb4ph***",
"Permissions":[
  {
    "IpProtocol":"TCP",
    "DestPrefixListId":"pl-x1j1k5ykzqlixdcy****", // Specify the destination prefix list ID.

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.
