``create`` ========== .. contents:: :local: :depth: 1 Description ------------ Creates a new policy in the specified compartment (either the tenancy or another of your compartments). If you're new to policies, see `Get Started with Policies `__. You must specify a *name* for the policy, which must be unique across all policies in your tenancy and cannot be changed. You must also specify a *description* for the policy (although it can be an empty string). It does not have to be unique, and you can change it anytime with `UpdatePolicy `__. You must specify one or more policy statements in the statements array. For information about writing policies, see `How Policies Work `__ and `Common Policies `__. After you send your request, the new object's `lifecycleState` will temporarily be CREATING. Before using the object, first make sure its `lifecycleState` has changed to ACTIVE. New policies take effect typically within 10 seconds. Usage ----- .. code-block:: none oci iam policy create [OPTIONS] Required Parameters -------------------- .. option:: --compartment-id, -c [text] The OCID of the compartment containing the policy (either the tenancy or another compartment). .. option:: --description [text] The description you assign to the policy during creation. Does not have to be unique, and it's changeable. .. option:: --name [text] The name you assign to the policy during creation. The name must be unique across all policies in the tenancy and cannot be changed. .. option:: --statements [complex type] An array of policy statements written in the policy language. See `How Policies Work `__ and `Common Policies `__. This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax. The :option:`--generate-param-json-input` option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax. This must be provided in JSON format. See API reference for additional help. Example: .. code-block:: python '["statement 1","statement 2"]' Optional Parameters -------------------- .. option:: --defined-tags [complex type] Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. For more information, see `Resource Tags `__. Example: `{"Operations": {"CostCenter": "42"}}` This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax. The :option:`--generate-param-json-input` option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax. .. option:: --freeform-tags [complex type] Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. For more information, see `Resource Tags `__. Example: `{"Department": "Finance"}` This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax. The :option:`--generate-param-json-input` option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax. .. option:: --from-json [text] Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the file://path-to/file syntax. The :option:`--generate-full-command-json-input` option can be used to generate a sample json file to be used with this command option. The key names are pre-populated and match the command option names (converted to camelCase format, e.g. compartment-id --> compartmentId), while the values of the keys need to be populated by the user before using the sample file as an input to this command. For any command option that accepts multiple values, the value of the key can be a JSON array. Options can still be provided on the command line. If an option exists in both the JSON document and the command line then the command line specified value will be used. For examples on usage of this option, please see our "using CLI with advanced JSON options" link: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliusing.htm#AdvancedJSONOptions .. option:: --max-wait-seconds [integer] The maximum time to wait for the resource to reach the lifecycle state defined by ``--wait-for-state``. Defaults to 1200 seconds. .. option:: --version-date [text] The version of the policy. If null or set to an empty string, when a request comes in for authorization, the policy will be evaluated according to the current behavior of the services at that moment. If set to a particular date (YYYY-MM-DD), the policy will be evaluated according to the behavior of the services on that date. The following datetime formats are supported: UTC with microseconds *********************** .. code:: Format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.ssssssTZD Example: 2017-09-15T20:30:00.123456Z UTC with milliseconds *********************** .. code:: Format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssTZD Example: 2017-09-15T20:30:00.123Z UTC without milliseconds ************************** .. code:: Format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssTZD Example: 2017-09-15T20:30:00Z UTC with minute precision ************************** .. code:: Format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mmTZD Example: 2017-09-15T20:30Z Timezone with microseconds *************************** .. code:: Format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssTZD Example: 2017-09-15T12:30:00.456789-08:00, 2017-09-15T12:30:00.456789-0800 Timezone with milliseconds *************************** .. code:: Format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssTZD Example: 2017-09-15T12:30:00.456-08:00, 2017-09-15T12:30:00.456-0800 Timezone without milliseconds ******************************* .. code:: Format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssTZD Example: 2017-09-15T12:30:00-08:00, 2017-09-15T12:30:00-0800 Timezone with minute precision ******************************* .. code:: Format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mmTZD Example: 2017-09-15T12:30-08:00, 2017-09-15T12:30-0800 Short date and time ******************** The timezone for this date and time will be taken as UTC (Needs to be surrounded by single or double quotes) .. code:: Format: 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm' or "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm" Example: '2017-09-15 17:25' Date Only ********** This date will be taken as midnight UTC of that day .. code:: Format: YYYY-MM-DD Example: 2017-09-15 Epoch seconds ************** .. code:: Example: 1412195400 .. option:: --wait-for-state [text] This operation creates, modifies or deletes a resource that has a defined lifecycle state. Specify this option to perform the action and then wait until the resource reaches a given lifecycle state. Multiple states can be specified, returning on the first state. For example, ``--wait-for-state`` SUCCEEDED ``--wait-for-state`` FAILED would return on whichever lifecycle state is reached first. If timeout is reached, a return code of 2 is returned. For any other error, a return code of 1 is returned. Accepted values are: .. code-block:: py ACTIVE, CREATING, DELETED, DELETING, INACTIVE .. option:: --wait-interval-seconds [integer] Check every ``--wait-interval-seconds`` to see whether the resource has reached the lifecycle state defined by ``--wait-for-state``. Defaults to 30 seconds.
