Test

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

SiteId

integer

Yes

The site ID. You can call the ListSites operation to obtain the site ID.

1

SiteVersion

integer

No

The version number of the site configuration. For sites with version management enabled, you can use this parameter to specify the site version on which the configuration takes effect. The default value is 0.

0

Phase

string

No

The WAF rule execution phase. This batch operation supports only the following two phases. For other phases, use the single-rule operation UpdateWafRule:

  • http_anti_scan: scan protection rules

  • http_bot: advanced mode bots

Note

Note: The http_anti_scan and http_bot phases support only batch updates. The single-rule operation UpdateWafRule does not accept these two values. Conversely, other phases such as http_custom and http_whitelist can be updated only by using the single-rule operation, not this batch operation.

Required constraint: Although this parameter is marked as optional (required: false) in the specification, it is required when you call this batch operation. The server cannot determine the target ruleset without the Phase parameter and returns InvalidParameter(400) if it is not provided.

http_anti_scan

RulesetId

integer

No

The ID of the WAF ruleset. You can call the ListWafRulesets operation to obtain the ruleset ID.

10000001

Shared WafBatchRuleShared

No

The shared configuration for multiple rules. Specifies the common properties shared across multiple rules.

Conditionally required: Although this parameter is marked as optional (required: false) in the specification, it is required when Phase=http_anti_scan. The server returns InvalidParameter(400) if it is not provided.

Subfield requirements: When the phase is http_anti_scan, Shared must include the Name (rule name), Expression (match expression), and Action (rule action) shared fields. For other phases, the required subfields of Shared vary depending on the specific phase.

Configs

array

No

The list of rule configurations. Specifies the detailed configuration for each rule.

Required subfields for each phase (applicable only to the two phases supported by this batch operation):

  • http_anti_scan: You must provide Type and at least one of ManagedList or RateLimit.

  • http_bot: You must provide the advanced mode bots configuration. The subfields are defined in the WafRuleConfig data structure.

Note

Note: Other phases such as http_custom and http_whitelist cannot use this batch operation. Use the single-rule operation UpdateWafRule instead. The subfield constraints for those phases are described in the single-rule operation documentation.

Note

Important: If Configs is missing or subfields are incomplete, the server returns InvalidParameter(400) or Rule.Config.Malformed.
