Note

This plugin is part of the oracle.oci collection (version 5.3.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install oracle.oci.

To use it in a playbook, specify: oracle.oci.oci_identity_policy_facts.

New in version 2.9.0: of oracle.oci

Synopsis

  • Fetches details about one or multiple Policy resources in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

  • Lists the policies in the specified compartment (either the tenancy or another of your compartments). See Where to Get the Tenancy’s OCID and User’s OCID.

  • To determine which policies apply to a particular group or compartment, you must view the individual statements inside all your policies. There isn’t a way to automatically obtain that information via the API.

  • If policy_id is specified, the details of a single Policy will be returned.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
api_user
string
The OCID of the user, on whose behalf, OCI APIs are invoked. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_ID environment variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the user is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). To get the user's OCID, please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm.
api_user_fingerprint
string
Fingerprint for the key pair being used. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_FINGERPRINT environment variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the key fingerprint is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). To get the key pair's fingerprint value please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm.
api_user_key_file
string
Full path and filename of the private key (in PEM format). If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_KEY_FILE variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the private key is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). If the key is encrypted with a pass-phrase, the api_user_key_pass_phrase option must also be provided.
api_user_key_pass_phrase
string
Passphrase used by the key referenced in api_user_key_file, if it is encrypted. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_KEY_PASS_PHRASE variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the key passphrase is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location).
auth_purpose
string
    Choices:
  • service_principal
The auth purpose which can be used in conjunction with 'auth_type=instance_principal'. The default auth_purpose for instance_principal is None.
auth_type
string
    Choices:
  • api_key ←
  • instance_principal
  • instance_obo_user
  • resource_principal
  • security_token
The type of authentication to use for making API requests. By default auth_type="api_key" based authentication is performed and the API key (see api_user_key_file) in your config file will be used. If this 'auth_type' module option is not specified, the value of the OCI_ANSIBLE_AUTH_TYPE, if any, is used. Use auth_type="instance_principal" to use instance principal based authentication when running ansible playbooks within an OCI compute instance.
cert_bundle
string
The full path to a CA certificate bundle to be used for SSL verification. This will override the default CA certificate bundle. If not set, then the value of the OCI_ANSIBLE_CERT_BUNDLE variable, if any, is used.
compartment_id
string
The OCID of the compartment (remember that the tenancy is simply the root compartment).
Required to list multiple policies.
config_file_location
string
Path to configuration file. If not set then the value of the OCI_CONFIG_FILE environment variable, if any, is used. Otherwise, defaults to ~/.oci/config.
config_profile_name
string
The profile to load from the config file referenced by config_file_location. If not set, then the value of the OCI_CONFIG_PROFILE environment variable, if any, is used. Otherwise, defaults to the "DEFAULT" profile in config_file_location.
lifecycle_state
string
    Choices:
  • CREATING
  • ACTIVE
  • INACTIVE
  • DELETING
  • DELETED
A filter to only return resources that match the given lifecycle state. The state value is case-insensitive.
name
string
A filter to only return resources that match the given name exactly.
policy_id
string
The OCID of the policy.
Required to get a specific policy.

aliases: id
realm_specific_endpoint_template_enabled
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Enable/Disable realm specific endpoint template for service client. By Default, realm specific endpoint template is disabled. If not set, then the value of the OCI_REALM_SPECIFIC_SERVICE_ENDPOINT_TEMPLATE_ENABLED variable, if any, is used.
region
string
The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure region to use for all OCI API requests. If not set, then the value of the OCI_REGION variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the region is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). Please refer to https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/General/Concepts/regions.htm for more information on OCI regions.
sort_by
string
    Choices:
  • TIMECREATED
  • NAME
The field to sort by. You can provide one sort order (`sortOrder`). Default order for TIMECREATED is descending. Default order for NAME is ascending. The NAME sort order is case sensitive.
**Note:** In general, some "List" operations (for example, `ListInstances`) let you optionally filter by Availability Domain if the scope of the resource type is within a single Availability Domain. If you call one of these "List" operations without specifying an Availability Domain, the resources are grouped by Availability Domain, then sorted.
sort_order
string
    Choices:
  • ASC
  • DESC
The sort order to use, either ascending (`ASC`) or descending (`DESC`). The NAME sort order is case sensitive.
tenancy
string
OCID of your tenancy. If not set, then the value of the OCI_TENANCY variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the tenancy OCID is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). To get the tenancy OCID, please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm
