Elastic Compute Service:ModifySecurityGroupRule

Last Updated:Dec 17, 2024

Modifies an inbound security group rule in a security group.

Operation description

Take note of the following items:

  • An authorization object in a security group rule can be of one of the following types: IPv4 CIDR block or address, IPv6 CIDR block or address, security group, or prefix list. You cannot call this operation to change the type of an existing authorization object. For example, if an authorization object is an IPv4 CIDR block, you can change the authorization object to a different IPv4 CIDR block or an IPv4 address, but you cannot change the authorization object to an IPv6 CIDR block or address, a security group, or a prefix list.
  • You cannot delete the value of a non-empty parameter. If you want to delete the values of non-empty parameters, we recommend that you create a security group rule and delete the original security group rule.

Debugging

You can run this interface directly in OpenAPI Explorer, saving you the trouble of calculating signatures. After running successfully, OpenAPI Explorer can automatically generate SDK code samples.

Authorization information

The following table shows the authorization information corresponding to the API. The authorization information can be used in the Action policy element to grant a RAM user or RAM role the permissions to call this API operation. Description:

  • Operation: the value that you can use in the Action element to specify the operation on a resource.
  • Access level: the access level of each operation. The levels are read, write, and list.
  • Resource type: the type of the resource on which you can authorize the RAM user or the RAM role to perform the operation. Take note of the following items:
    • The required resource types are displayed in bold characters.
    • If the permissions cannot be granted at the resource level, All Resources is used in the Resource type column of the operation.
  • Condition Key: the condition key that is defined by the cloud service.
  • Associated operation: other operations that the RAM user or the RAM role must have permissions to perform to complete the operation. To complete the operation, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform the associated operations.
