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
RegionId	string	No	The ID of the region where the SLB instance is deployed. You can invoke DescribeRegions to query region IDs.	cn-beijing
LoadBalancerId	string	Yes	The ID of the Classic Load Balancer instance.	lb-2ze7o5h52g02kkzz******
BackendServers	string	No	The list of backend servers to add. The list contains the following parameters: ServerId: String. Required. The instance ID of the backend server. Valid values: ECS instance ID, ENI instance ID, and ECI instance ID. If you set ServerId to an ENI instance ID or an ECI instance ID, the Type parameter is required. Weight: The backend server weight. Valid values: 0 to 100. Default value: 100. If the value is 0, no requests are forwarded to the backend server. Description: String. Optional. The description of the backend server. The description must be 1 to 80 characters in length and can contain letters, digits, hyphens (-), forward slashes (/), periods (.), and underscores (_). Chinese characters are supported. Type: The server type of the backend server. Valid values: ecs: ECS instance (default). eni: elastic network interface controller (NIC) instance. eci: elastic container instance. Note Only guaranteed-performance instances support adding eni and eci types of backend servers. ServerIp: The IP address of the ENI or ECI instance. Examples: Mount an ECS instance: `[{ "ServerId": "i-xxxxxxxxx", "Weight": "100", "Type": "ecs", "Description":"test-112" }]` Mount an ENI: `[{ "ServerId": "eni-xxxxxxxxx", "Weight": "100", "Type": "eni", "ServerIp": "192.168..", "Description":"test-112" }]` Mount an ENI with multiple IP addresses: `[{ "ServerId": "eni-xxxxxxxxx", "Weight": "100", "Type": "eni", "ServerIp": "192.168..", "Description":"test-113" },{ "ServerId": "eni-xxxxxxxxx", "Weight": "100", "Type": "eni", "ServerIp": "172.166..", "Description":"test-113" }]` Mount an ECI: `[{ "ServerId": "eci-xxxxxxxxx", "Weight": "100", "Type": "eci", "ServerIp": "192.168..", "Description":"test-114" }]` Note Only backend servers in the Running state can be added to an SLB instance. You can add up to 20 backend servers in each invoke.	[{ "ServerId": "eni-xxxxxxxxx", "Weight": "100", "Type": "eni", "ServerIp": "192.168..", "Description":"test-112" },{ "ServerId": "eni-xxxxxxxxx", "Weight": "100", "Type": "eni", "ServerIp": "172.166..", "Description":"test-113" }]
