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
EnableSaveMFATicket	boolean	No	Specifies whether to remember multi-factor authentication (MFA) devices of RAM users for seven days. Valid values: true false (default)	true
AllowUserToChangePassword	boolean	No	Specifies whether RAM users can change their passwords. Valid values: true (default) false	true
AllowUserToManageAccessKeys	boolean	No	Specifies whether RAM users can manage their AccessKey pairs. Valid values: true false (default)	false
AllowUserToManagePublicKeys	boolean	No	Specifies whether RAM users can manage their public keys. Valid values: true false (default) Note This parameter is valid only for the Japan site.	false
AllowUserToManageMFADevices	boolean	No	Specifies whether RAM users can manage their MFA devices. Valid values: true (default) false	true
LoginSessionDuration	integer	No	The validity period of the logon session of RAM users. Valid values: 1 to 24. Default value: 6. Unit: hours.	6
LoginNetworkMasks	string	No	The subnet mask that specifies the IP addresses from which logon to the Alibaba Cloud Management Console is allowed. This parameter applies to password-based logon and single sign-on (SSO), but not to API calls authenticated by AccessKey pairs. If specified, RAM users can log on to the Alibaba Cloud Management Console only from IP addresses in the subnet mask. If not specified, RAM users can log on from any IP address. To specify multiple subnet masks, separate them with semicolons (;). Example: 192.168.0.0/16;10.0.0.0/8. You can specify up to 40 subnet masks. Maximum total length: 512 characters.	10.0.0.0/8
