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

AppId

string

Yes

The application ID.

472457090344041****

NewDisplayName

string

No

The new display name.

NewApp

NewRedirectUris

string

No

The webhook address.

If you enter multiple webhook addresses, separate them with semicolons (;).

https://www.example.com

NewPredefinedScopes

string

No

The permission scopes of the application.

For more information about the valid values and descriptions of permission scopes, see OAuth scopes. You can also call the ListPredefinedScopes operation to obtain the permission scopes that are supported by different types of applications.

If you enter multiple permission scopes, separate them with semicolons (;).

The new permission scopes overwrite the original ones. For example, if the original permission scope is /acs/ccc and you set the new permission scope to /acs/alidns, the permission scope that takes effect is /acs/alidns. If you want to add /acs/alidns to the original scope, set the new permission scope to /acs/ccc;/acs/alidns.

openid

NewRequiredScopes

string

No

The required permission scopes of the application.

You can set one or more scopes specified in RequiredScopes as required. After a scope is set as required, it is selected by default and cannot be deselected when a user grants permissions to the application.

If you also specify NewPredefinedScopes, the list of application scopes is reset by NewPredefinedScopes first. Then, this parameter is used to configure whether the scopes are required.

If you enter multiple permission scopes, separate them with semicolons (;).

The new required scopes overwrite the original ones.

Note

If a scope that you specify for RequiredScopes is not within the range of PredefinedScopes, the required setting for that scope does not take effect.
