get-resource-policy

Description

Returns the resource-based policy document attached to the resource, which can be a table or stream, in JSON format.

GetResourcePolicy follows an ` eventually consistent https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/HowItWorks.ReadConsistency.html`__ model. The following list describes the outcomes when you issue the GetResourcePolicy request immediately after issuing another request:
  • If you issue a GetResourcePolicy request immediately after a PutResourcePolicy request, DynamoDB might return a PolicyNotFoundException .
  • If you issue a GetResourcePolicy request immediately after a DeleteResourcePolicy request, DynamoDB might return the policy that was present before the deletion request.
  • If you issue a GetResourcePolicy request immediately after a CreateTable request, which includes a resource-based policy, DynamoDB might return a ResourceNotFoundException or a PolicyNotFoundException .

Because GetResourcePolicy uses an eventually consistent query, the metadata for your policy or table might not be available at that moment. Wait for a few seconds, and then retry the GetResourcePolicy request.

After a GetResourcePolicy request returns a policy created using the PutResourcePolicy request, you can assume the policy will start getting applied in the authorization of requests to the resource. Because this process is eventually consistent, it will take some time to apply the policy to all requests to a resource. Policies that you attach while creating a table using the CreateTable request will always be applied to all requests for that table.

Options

--resource-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the DynamoDB resource to which the policy is attached. The resources you can specify include tables and streams.

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Output

Policy -> (string)

The resource-based policy document attached to the resource, which can be a table or stream, in JSON format.

RevisionId -> (string)

A unique string that represents the revision ID of the policy. If you are comparing revision IDs, make sure to always use string comparison logic.
