IAM JSON policy elements: Id - AWS Identity and Access Management

IAM JSON policy elements: Id

The Id element specifies an optional identifier for the policy. The ID is used differently in different services. ID is allowed in resource-based policies, but not in identity-based policies.

For services that let you set an ID element, we recommend you use a UUID (GUID) for the value, or incorporate a UUID as part of the ID to ensure uniqueness.

{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Id": "cd3ad3d9-2776-4ef1-a904-4c229d1642ee", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "s3:ListAllMyBuckets", "Resource": "*" } ] }
Note

Some AWS services (for example, Amazon SQS or Amazon SNS) might require this element and have uniqueness requirements for it. For service-specific information about writing policies, refer to the documentation for the service you're working with.
