Modifies the internal access control policy of a basic security group. The internal access control policies of advanced security groups cannot be modified.

Description

When you call this operation, take note of the following items:

  • When InnerAccessPolicy is set to Accept for a security group, the instances in the security group can communicate with each other. In this case, the Accept internal access control policy takes precedence over user-created security group rules to keep instances in the security group accessible to each other.
  • When InnerAccessPolicy is set to Drop for a security group, the instances in the security group are isolated from each other. In this case, user-created security group rules take precedence over the Drop internal access control policy and can be used to allow access between the instances. For example, you can call the AuthorizeSecurityGroup operation to create an inbound security group rule that allows the instances in the security group to communicate with each other.
  • You can call the DescribeSecurityGroupAttribute operation to query the internal access control policy of a security group.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.
