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
RegionId	string	No	The region ID of the instance. You can call DescribeRegions to query the most recent region list.	cn-hangzhou
InstanceId	string	Yes	The ID of the ECS instance for which to configure automatic release.	i-bp1env7nl3mijm2t****
AutoReleaseTime	string	No	The automatic release time. Specify the time in the ISO 8601 standard in the yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ format. The time must be in UTC. If the value of seconds (`ss`) is not `00`, the time is automatically set to the start of the current minute (`mm`). The earliest release time must be at least 30 minutes from the current time. The latest release time cannot be more than three years from the current time. If you do not specify the AutoReleaseTime parameter, the automatic release feature is canceled and the ECS instance is no longer automatically released.	2018-01-01T01:02:03Z
