create-permission

Description

Grants one or more permissions on a private CA to the Certificate Manager (ACM) service principal (acm.amazonaws.com ). These permissions allow ACM to issue and renew ACM certificates that reside in the same Amazon Web Services account as the CA.

You can list current permissions with the ListPermissions action and revoke them with the DeletePermission action.

About Permissions
  • If the private CA and the certificates it issues reside in the same account, you can use CreatePermission to grant permissions for ACM to carry out automatic certificate renewals.
  • For automatic certificate renewal to succeed, the ACM service principal needs permissions to create, retrieve, and list certificates.
  • If the private CA and the ACM certificates reside in different accounts, then permissions cannot be used to enable automatic renewals. Instead, the ACM certificate owner must set up a resource-based policy to enable cross-account issuance and renewals. For more information, see Using a Resource Based Policy with ACM Private CA .

--certificate-authority-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the CA that grants the permissions. You can find the ARN by calling the ListCertificateAuthorities action. This must have the following form:

Where valid values are:
  IssueCertificate
  GetCertificate

--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.

See 'aws help' for descriptions of global parameters.
