CreatePolicy

post

/20160918/policies

Create a new policy in the specified compartment, either in the tenancy or in a different compartment. For information about policies, see "Managing Policies" (https://docs.oracle.com/en/engineered-systems/private-cloud-appliance/3.0-latest/user/user-usr-manage-policies.html).

You must specify a name for the policy, which must be unique across all policies in the tenancy and cannot be changed.

You must specify a description for the policy, although it can be an empty string.

You must specify one or more policy statements in the statements array.

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 typically take effect within 10 seconds.

Request

Supported Media Types

• application/json

Header Parameters

• opc-retry-token: string
  Minimum Length: 1

  Maximum Length: 64

  A token that uniquely identifies a request so it can be retried in case of a timeout or server error without risk of executing that same action again. Retry tokens expire after 24 hours, but can be invalidated before then due to conflicting operations (for example, if a resource has been deleted and purged from the system, then a retry of the original creation request may be rejected).

Body ()

Request object for creating a new policy.
