TagResources

Applies one or more tags to the specified resources. Note the following:

Not all resources can have tags. For a list of services with resources that support tagging using this operation, see Services that support the Resource Groups Tagging API. If the resource doesn't yet support this operation, the resource's service might support tagging using its own API operations. For more information, refer to the documentation for that service.
Each resource can have up to 50 tags. For other limits, see Tag Naming and Usage Conventions in the AWS General Reference.
You can only tag resources that are located in the specified AWS Region for the AWS account.
To add tags to a resource, you need the necessary permissions for the service that the resource belongs to as well as permissions for adding tags. For more information, see the documentation for each service.

Important

Do not store personally identifiable information (PII) or other confidential or sensitive information in tags. We use tags to provide you with billing and administration services. Tags are not intended to be used for private or sensitive data.

Minimum permissions

In addition to the tag:TagResources permission required by this operation, you must also have the tagging permission defined by the service that created the resource. For example, to tag an Amazon EC2 instance using the TagResources operation, you must have both of the following permissions:

tag:TagResources
ec2:CreateTags

Note

In addition, some services might have specific requirements for tagging some types of resources. For example, to tag an Amazon S3 bucket, you must also have the s3:GetBucketTagging permission. If the expected minimum permissions don't work, check the documentation for that service's tagging APIs for more information.

Type: String to string map

Map Entries: Maximum number of 50 items.

Key Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.

Key Pattern: [\s\S]*

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

FailedResourcesMap

A map containing a key-value pair for each failed item that couldn't be tagged. The key is the ARN of the failed resource. The value is a FailureInfo object that contains an error code, a status code, and an error message. If there are no errors, the FailedResourcesMap is empty.

Type: String to FailureInfo object map

Key Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 1011.

Key Pattern: [\s\S]*
