Actions Defined by AWS X-Ray

You can specify the following actions in the Action element of an IAM policy statement. By using policies, you define the permissions for anyone performing an operation in AWS. When you use an action in a policy, you usually allow or deny access to the API operation or CLI command with the same name. However, in some cases, a single action controls access to more than one operation. Alternatively, some operations require several different actions. For details about the columns in the following table, see The Actions Table.

Actions	Description	Access Level	Resource Types (*required)	Condition Keys	Dependent Actions
BatchGetTraces	Retrieves a list of traces specified by ID. Each trace is a collection of segment documents that originates from a single request. Use GetTraceSummaries to get a list of trace IDs.	Read
CreateGroup	Creates a group resource with a name and a filter expression.	Write	group*
CreateSamplingRule	Creates a rule to control sampling behavior for instrumented applications.	Write	sampling-rule*
DeleteGroup	Deletes a group resource.	Write	group*
DeleteSamplingRule	Deletes a sampling rule.	Write	sampling-rule*
GetEncryptionConfig	Retrieves the current encryption configuration for X-Ray data.	Permissions management
GetGroup	Retrieves group resource details.	Read	group*
GetGroups	Retrieves all active group details.	Read
GetSamplingRules	Retrieves all sampling rules.	Read
GetSamplingStatisticSummaries	Retrieves information about recent sampling results for all sampling rules.	Read
GetSamplingTargets	Requests a sampling quota for rules that the service is using to sample requests.	Read
GetServiceGraph	Retrieves a document that describes services that process incoming requests, and downstream services that they call as a result.	Read
GetTimeSeriesServiceStatistics	Get an aggregation of service statistics defined by a specific time range bucketed into time intervals.	Read
GetTraceGraph	Retrieves a service graph for one or more specific trace IDs.	Read
GetTraceSummaries	Retrieves IDs and metadata for traces available for a specified time frame using an optional filter. To get the full traces, pass the trace IDs to BatchGetTraces.	Read
PutEncryptionConfig	Updates the encryption configuration for X-Ray data.	Permissions management
PutTelemetryRecords	Used by the AWS X-Ray daemon to send telemetry to the service.	Write
PutTraceSegments	Uploads segment documents to AWS X-Ray. The X-Ray SDK generates segment documents and sends them to the X-Ray daemon, which uploads them in batches.	Write
UpdateGroup	Updates a group resource.	Write	group*
UpdateSamplingRule	Modifies a sampling rule's configuration.	Write	sampling-rule*

Resources Defined by AWS X-Ray

The following resource types are defined by this service and can be used in the Resource element of IAM permission policy statements. Each action in the Actions table identifies the resource types that can be specified with that action. A resource type can also define which condition keys you can include in a policy. These keys are displayed in the last column of the table. For details about the columns in the following table, see The Resource Types Table.

Resource Types	ARN	Condition Keys
group	arn:${Partition}:xray:${Region}:${Account}:group/${GroupName}/${Id}
sampling-rule	arn:${Partition}:xray:${Region}:${Account}:sampling-rule/${SamplingRuleName}

Condition Keys for AWS X-Ray

X-Ray has no service-specific context keys that can be used in the Condition element of policy statements. For the list of the global context keys that are available to all services, see Available Keys for Conditions in the IAM Policy Reference.
