Elastic IP Address:Custom policies for EIP

What is a custom policy?

Resource Access Management (RAM) supports two types of policies: system policies and custom policies. Unlike system policies, which are managed by Alibaba Cloud, custom policies are created and maintained by you.

Custom policies differ from system policies in the following ways:

• Attach to a principal to take effect. After creating a custom policy, attach it to a RAM user, user group, or RAM role. Permissions in the policy are not granted until the policy is attached.

• Detach before deleting. A custom policy attached to a principal cannot be deleted. Detach it from all principals first.

• Support version management. RAM maintains a version history for each custom policy. You can manage custom policy versions based on the version management mechanism provided by RAM.
