Comments
A policy that uses <verb> api-gateway-family
is equivalent to writing one with a separate <verb> <individual resource-type>
statement for each of the individual resource-types.
See the table in Details for Verb + Resource-Type Combinations for details of the API operations covered by each verb, for each individual resource-type included in api-gateway-family
.
Supported Variables
API Gateway supports all the general variables (see General Variables for All Requests).
Details for Verb + Resource-Type Combinations
The following tables show the permissions and API operations covered by each verb. The level of access is cumulative as you go from inspect
> read
> use
> manage
. For example, a group that can use a resource can also inspect and read that resource. A plus sign (+) in a table cell indicates incremental access compared to the cell directly above it, whereas "no extra" indicates no incremental access.
For example, the read
verb for the api-gateways
resource-type includes the same permissions and API operations as the inspect
verb, plus the API_GATEWAY_READ permission and a number of API operations (e.g., GetGateway
, etc.). The use
verb covers additional permissions and API operations compared to read
. Lastly, manage
covers more permissions and operations compared to use
.
