Simple Log Service:CreateProject

Last Updated:Mar 27, 2026

Creates a project.

Operation description

Usage notes

  • An AccessKey pair is required. For more information, seeAccessKey pair.

The AccessKey pair of an Alibaba Cloud account has permissions on all API operations, which is high risk. We recommend that you create and use a RAM user to call API operations or perform routine O&M. The RAM user must have permissions to manage Simple Log Service resources. For more information, seeCreate a RAM user and authorize the RAM user.

  • A project name must be globally unique in an Alibaba Cloud region and cannot be changed after the project is created.

  • For limits on the number of projects per Alibaba Cloud account, seeBasic resources.

Authorization information

The following table describes the authorization information for this API operation. You can add this information to the Action element of a RAM policy statement to grant RAM users or RAM roles permissions to call this operation.

Action Resource in policy
log:CreateProject acs:log:{#regionId}:{#accountId}:project/{#ProjectName}

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.
