Supported Variables

IAM supports all the general variables (see General Variables for All Requests), plus additional ones listed here:

Operations for This Resource-Type... Can Use These Variables... Variable Type Comments
users target.user.id Entity (OCID) Not available to use with CreateUser or ListUsers.
target.user.name String Not available to use with ListUsers.
target.resource.domain.id Entity (OCID)
target.resource.domain.name String
groups target.group.id Entity (OCID) Not available to use with CreateGroup or ListGroups.
target.group.name String Not available to use with ListGroups.
target.group.member Boolean

True if request.user is a member of target.group.

False if the service is creating the target.group.

Not available to use with ListGroups.

target.resource.domain.id Entity (OCID)
target.resource.domain.name String
dynamic-groups target.dynamicgroup.id Entity (OCID) Not available to use with CreateDynamicGroup or ListDynamicGroups.
target.dynamicgroup.name String Not available to use with CreateDynamicGroup or ListDynamicGroups.
target.resource.domain.id Entity (OCID)
target.resource.domain.name String
policies target.policy.id Entity (OCID) Not available to use with CreatePolicy or ListPolicies.
target.policy.name String Not available to use with ListPolicies.
target.policy.autoupdate Boolean Not available to use with ListPolicies.
compartments target.compartment.id Entity (OCID)

This is a universal variable available to use with any request across all services (see General Variables for All Requests), except it's not available to use with ListCompartments.

For CreateCompartment, this will be the value of the parent compartment (for example, the root compartment).

target.compartment.name String

This is a universal variable available to use with any request across all services (see General Variables for All Requests), except it's not available to use with ListCompartments.

 
credentials target.credential.type String For example, "smtp", "switft", "secretkey".
target.user.id Entity (OCID)
target.user.name String
target.resource.domain.id Entity (OCID)
target.resource.domain.name String
domain target.domain.id Entity (OCID) Not available to use with CreateDomain or ListDomains.
target.domain.name String  Not available to use with ListDomains.
tag-namespace target.tag-namespace.id Entity (OCID)

This variable is supported only in statements granting permissions for the tag-namespaces resource-type. For an example, see Tags and Tag Namespace Concepts. Not available to use with CreateTagNamespace or ListTagNamespaces.

target.tag-namespace.name String  Not available to use with ListTagNamespaces.

Details for Verbs + 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 compartments covers no extra permissions or API operations compared to the inspect verb. The use verb includes the same ones as the read verb, plus the COMPARTMENT_UPDATE permission and UpdateCompartment API operation. The manage verb includes the same permissions and API operations as the use verb, plus the COMPARTMENT_CREATE permission and two API operations: CreateCompartment and DeleteCompartment
