Server Load Balancer:CreateAcl

Last Updated:Jan 15, 2026

Creates an access control list (ACL) in a region.

Operation description

Usage notes

The CreateAcl operation is asynchronous. After you send a request, the system returns a request ID. However, the operation is still being performed in the system background. You can call the ListAcls operation to query the status of an ACL:

  • If an ACL is in the Creating state, the ACL is being created.

  • If an ACL is in the Available state, the ACL is created.

Try this API in OpenAPI Explorer, no manual signing needed. Successful calls auto-generate SDK code matching your parameters. Download it with built-in credential security for local usage.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.

DryRun

boolean

No

Specifies whether to check the request without performing the operation. Valid values:

  • true: checks the request without performing the operation. The system checks the required parameters, request syntax, and limits. If the request fails the check, an error message is returned. If the request passes the check, the DryRunOperation error code is returned.

  • false (default): sends the request. If the request passes the check, an HTTP 2xx status code is returned and the operation is performed.
