Creates an access policy. This method fails if the organization already has an access policy. The long-running operation has a successful status after the access policy propagates to long-lasting storage. Syntactic and basic semantic errors are returned in metadata
as a BadRequest proto.
HTTP request
POST https://accesscontextmanager.googleapis.com/v1alpha/accessPolicies
The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.
Request body
The request body contains data with the following structure:
| JSON representation |
|---|
{ "name" : string , "parent" : string , "title" : string , "scopes" : [ string ] , "etag" : string } |
name
string
Identifier. Resource name of the AccessPolicy
. Format: accessPolicies/{access_policy}
parent
string
Immutable. The parent of this AccessPolicy
in the Cloud Resource Hierarchy Format: organizations/{organizationId}
title
string
Required. Human readable title. Does not affect behavior.
scopes[]
string
The scopes of the AccessPolicy
. Scopes define which resources a policy can restrict and where its resources can be referenced. For example, policy A with scopes=["folders/123"]
has the following behavior:
-
ServicePerimetercan only restrict projects withinfolders/123. -
ServicePerimeterwithin policy A can only reference access levels defined within policy A. - Only one policy can include a given scope; thus, attempting to create a second policy which includes
folders/123will result in an error.
If no scopes are provided, then any resource within the organization can be restricted. Scopes cannot be modified after a policy is created. Policies can only have a single scope. Format: list of folders/{folder_number}
or projects/{projectNumber}
etag
string
Output only. An opaque identifier for the current version of the AccessPolicy
. This will always be a strongly validated etag, meaning that two Access Policies will be identical if and only if their etags are identical. Clients should not expect this to be in any specific format.
Response body
If successful, the response body contains a newly created instance of Operation
.
Authorization scopes
Requires the following OAuth scope:
-
