Policy Syntax

Learn the details of policy syntax to write your own well-formed policy statements.

The overall syntax of a policy statement is as follows:

Allow <identity_domain_name>/<subject> to <verb> <resource-type> in <location> where <conditions>
Note

If you do not include the <identity_domain_name> before the <subject>, then the policy statement is evaluated as though the subject belongs to the default identity domain.

Spare spaces or line breaks in the statement have no effect.
