Express Connect:TagResourcesForExpressConnect

Last Updated:Jun 19, 2026

Creates and binds tags to specified Express Connect circuit instances by calling the TagResourcesForExpressConnect operation.

Operation description

Tags are labels that you assign to instances. Each tag consists of a key-value pair. Take note of the following items when you use tags:

  • The tag key of each tag on an instance must be unique.

  • Tags cannot exist without being bound to an instance. Empty tags that are not bound to instances are not supported.

  • Tag information is not shared across regions.

    For example, tags created in the China (Hangzhou) region are not visible in the China (Shanghai) region.

  • You can bind up to 20 tags to a single instance. Before binding tags, Alibaba Cloud checks the number of existing tags on the resource. If the limit is exceeded, an error message is returned.

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.
