    Elastic Compute Service:AuthorizeSecurityGroupEgress

    Document Center

    Elastic Compute Service:AuthorizeSecurityGroupEgress

    Last Updated:Dec 17, 2024

    Creates outbound rules in a security group. You can use the created rules to allow or deny outbound traffic from Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances in the security group to other objects for fine-grained network access control.

    Operation description

    Limits

    • Quantity limit: The total number of outbound security group rules in each security group cannot exceed 200. For more information, see the Security group limits section of the "Limits" topic.
    • Rule types: For outbound security group rules, you can set Policy to accept or drop to specify whether to allow or deny access.
    • Rule priorities: For outbound security group rules, the valid values of Priority range from 1 to 100. A smaller value indicates a higher priority. When multiple security group rules have the same priority, drop rules take precedence.

    Considerations

    • If the security group rule that you call the AuthorizeSecurityGroupEgress operation to create exists in the security group, the call is successful but no security group rule is created.
    • Parameters and their Permissions.N-prefixed counterparts cannot be specified in the same request. We recommend that you use the Permissions.N-prefixed parameters.

    Parameters that define a security group rule

    Define a security group rule by configuring the following parameters together:

    • One of the following parameters: DestCidrIp, Ipv6DestCidrIp, DestPrefixListId, and DestGroupId. DestCidrIp specifies the destination IPv4 CIDR block. Ipv6DestCidrIp specifies the destination IPv6 CIDR block. DestPrefixListId specifies the ID of the destination prefix list. DestGroupId specifies the destination security group.
    • PortRange: specifies the range of destination port numbers.
    • IpProtocol: specifies the protocol.
    • Policy: specifies the action.
    Note Advanced security groups do not support security group rules that reference security groups as authorization objects. Each basic security group can contain up to 20 security group rules that reference security groups as authorization objects.

    Sample requests

    Sample requests to create outbound security group rules that control access to different destinations in a security group in the China (Hangzhou) region:

    • Sample request to create an outbound security group rule that controls access to a specific CIDR block:

      "RegionId":"cn-hangzhou",  //The region ID of the source security group.
"SecurityGroupId":"sg-bp17vs63txqxbds9***", //The ID of the source security group.
"Permissions":[
     {
       "DestCidrIp": "10.0.0.0/8", //The destination IPv4 CIDR block.
       "PortRange": "-1/-1", //The range of destination port numbers.
       "IpProtocol": "ICMP", //The protocol.
       "Policy": "Accept" //The action.
     }
]

    • Sample request to create an outbound security group rule that controls access to a security group and an outbound security group rule that controls access to a prefix list:

      "RegionId":"cn-hangzhou",
"SecurityGroupId":"sg-bp17vs63txqxbds9***",
"Permissions":[
     {
       "DestGroupId": "sg-bp67acfmxazb4pi***", //The ID of the destination security group.
       "PortRange": "22/22",
       "IpProtocol": "TCP",
       "Policy": "Drop"
     },{
       "DestPrefixListId": "pl-x1j1k5ykzqlixdcy****", //The ID of the destination prefix list.
       "PortRange": "22/22",
       "IpProtocol": "TCP",
       "Policy": "Drop"
     }
]

    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.
