AWS global condition context keys
When a principal makes a request to
AWS, AWS gathers the request information into a request context. You can use the Condition
element of a JSON policy
to compare keys in the request context with key values that you specify in your policy.
Request information is provided by different sources, including the principal making the
request, the resource the request is made against, and the metadata about the request
itself.
Global condition keys can be used across all AWS
services. While these condition keys can be used in all policies, the key is not available
in every request context. For example, the aws:SourceAccount
condition key is
only available when the call to your resource is made directly by an AWS service principal. To learn more about the circumstances under which a
global key is included in the request context, see the Availability information for each key.
Some individual services create their own condition keys that are available in the request
context for other services. Cross-service condition keys
are a type of global condition key that include a prefix matching the name of the service,
such as ec2:
or lambda:
, but are available across other
services.
Service-specific condition keys are defined for use with
an individual AWS service. For example, Amazon S3 lets you write a policy with the
s3:VersionId
condition key to limit access to a specific version of an Amazon S3
object. This condition key is unique to the service, meaning it only works with requests to
the Amazon S3 service. For condition keys that are service-specific, see Actions, Resources, and Condition Keys for AWS Services and choose the
service whose keys you want to view.
Note
If you use condition keys that are available only in some circumstances, you can use
the IfExists versions of the condition
operators. If the condition keys are missing from a request context, the policy can fail
the evaluation. For example, use the following condition block with
...IfExists
operators to match when a request comes from a specific IP
range or from a specific VPC. If either or both keys are not included in the request
context, the condition still returns true
. The values are only checked if
the specified key is included in the request context. For more information about how a
policy is evaluated when a key is not present for other operators, see Condition
operators.
"Condition": {
"IpAddressIfExists": {"aws:SourceIp" : ["xxx"] },
"StringEqualsIfExists" : {"aws:SourceVpc" : ["yyy"]}
}
Important
To compare your condition against a request context with multiple key values, you must
use the ForAllValues
or ForAnyValue
set operators. Use set
operators only with multivalued condition keys. Do not use set operators with
single-valued condition keys. For more information, see Multivalued
context keys.

Sensitive condition keys
The following condition keys are considered sensitive because their values are machine-generated. The use of wildcards in these condition keys does not have any valid use cases, even with a substring of the key value with a wildcard. This is because the wildcard may match the condition key to any value, which could pose a security risk.
Properties of the principal
Use the following condition keys to compare details about the principal making the request with the principal properties that you specify in the policy. For a list of principals that can make requests, see How to specify a principal.
Contents
aws:PrincipalArn
Use this key to compare the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the principal that made the request with the ARN that you specify in the policy. For IAM roles, the request context returns the ARN of the role, not the ARN of the user that assumed the role.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context for all signed requests. Anonymous requests do not include this key. You can specify the following types of principals in this condition key:
-
IAM role
-
IAM user
-
AWS STS federated user session
-
AWS account root user
-
-
Data type – ARN, String
AWS recommends that you use ARN operators instead of string operators when comparing ARNs.
-
Value type – Single-valued
-
Example values The following list shows the request context value returned for different types of principals that you can specify in the
aws:PrincipalArn
condition key:-
IAM role – The request context contains the following value for condition key
aws:PrincipalArn
. Do not specify the assumed role session ARN as a value for this condition key. For more information about the assumed role session principal, see Role session principals.arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/role-name
-
IAM user – The request context contains the following value for condition key
aws:PrincipalArn
.arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/
user-name
-
AWS STS federated user sessions – The request context contains the following value for condition key
aws:PrincipalArn
.arn:aws:sts::123456789012:federated-user/
user-name
-
AWS account root user – The request context contains the following value for condition key
aws:PrincipalArn
. When you specify the root user ARN as the value for theaws:PrincipalArn
condition key, it limits permissions only for the root user of the AWS account. This is different from specifying the root user ARN in the principal element of a resource-based policy, which delegates authority to the AWS account. For more information about specifying the root user ARN in the principal element of a resource-based policy, see AWS account principals.arn:aws:iam::123456789012:root
-
You can specify the root user ARN as a value for condition key
aws:PrincipalArn
in AWS Organizations service control policies (SCPs). SCPs
are a type of organization policy used to manage permissions in your organization
and affect only member accounts in the organization. An SCP restricts permissions
for IAM users and roles in member accounts, including the member account's root user.
For more information about the effect of SCPs on permissions, see SCP effects on permissions in the Organizations User
Guide.
aws:PrincipalAccount
Use this key to compare the account to which the requesting principal belongs with
the account identifier that you specify in the policy. For anonymous requests, the
request context returns anonymous
.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context for all requests, including anonymous requests.
-
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
In the following example, access is denied except to principals with the account
number 123456789012
.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "DenyAccessFromPrincipalNotInSpecificAccount", "Action": "
service
:*", "Effect": "Deny", "Resource": [ "arn:aws:service:region:accountID:resource
" ], "Condition": { "StringNotEquals": { "aws:PrincipalAccount": [ "123456789012" ] } } } ] }
aws:PrincipalOrgPaths
Use this key to compare the AWS Organizations path for the principal who is making the request to the path in the policy. That principal can be an IAM user, IAM role, federated user, or AWS account root user. In a policy, this condition key ensures that the requester is an account member within the specified organization root or organizational units (OUs) in AWS Organizations. An AWS Organizations path is a text representation of the structure of an Organizations entity. For more information about using and understanding paths, see Understand the AWS Organizations entity path.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context only if the principal is a member of an organization. Anonymous requests do not include this key.
-
Data type – String (list)
-
Value type – Multivalued
Note
Organization IDs are globally unique but OU IDs and root IDs are unique only within an organization. This means that no two organizations share the same organization ID. However, another organization might have an OU or root with the same ID as yours. We recommend that you always include the organization ID when you specify an OU or root.
For example, the following
condition returns true
for principals in accounts that are
attached directly to the ou-ab12-22222222
OU, but not in its child
OUs.
"Condition" : { "ForAnyValue:StringEquals" : { "aws:PrincipalOrgPaths":["o-a1b2c3d4e5/r-ab12/ou-ab12-11111111/ou-ab12-22222222/"] }}
The following
condition
returns true
for principals in an account that is attached directly to
the OU or any of its child OUs. When you include a wildcard, you must use the
StringLike
condition operator.
"Condition" : { "ForAnyValue:StringLike" : { "aws:PrincipalOrgPaths":["o-a1b2c3d4e5/r-ab12/ou-ab12-11111111/ou-ab12-22222222/*"] }}
The following
condition returns true
for principals in an account that is attached
directly to any of the child OUs, but not directly to the parent OU. The previous
condition is for the OU or any children. The following condition is for only the
children (and any children of those children).
"Condition" : { "ForAnyValue:StringLike" : { "aws:PrincipalOrgPaths":["o-a1b2c3d4e5/r-ab12/ou-ab12-11111111/ou-ab12-22222222/ou-*"] }}
The following condition allows access for every principal in the
o-a1b2c3d4e5
organization, regardless of their parent OU.
"Condition" : { "ForAnyValue:StringLike" : { "aws:PrincipalOrgPaths":["o-a1b2c3d4e5/*"] }}
aws:PrincipalOrgPaths
is a multivalued condition key. Multivalued
keys can have multiple values in the request context. When you use multiple values
with the ForAnyValue
condition operator, the principal's path must
match one of the paths listed in the policy. For more information about multivalued
condition keys, see Multivalued
context keys.
"Condition": { "ForAnyValue:StringLike": { "aws:PrincipalOrgPaths": [ "o-a1b2c3d4e5/r-ab12/ou-ab12-33333333/*", "o-a1b2c3d4e5/r-ab12/ou-ab12-22222222/*" ] } }
aws:PrincipalOrgID
Use this key to compare the identifier of the organization in AWS Organizations to which the requesting principal belongs with the identifier specified in the policy.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context only if the principal is a member of an organization. Anonymous requests do not include this key.
-
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
This global key provides an alternative to listing all the account IDs for all
AWS accounts in an organization. You can use this condition key to simplify
specifying the Principal
element in a resource-based policy. You
can specify the organization
ID in the condition element. When you add and remove accounts, policies
that include the aws:PrincipalOrgID
key automatically include the
correct accounts and don't require manual updating.
For example, the following Amazon S3 bucket policy allows members of any account in the
o-xxxxxxxxxxx
organization to add an object into the
amzn-s3-demo-bucket
bucket.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": { "Sid": "AllowPutObject", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": "*", "Action": "s3:PutObject", "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::amzn-s3-demo-bucket/*", "Condition": {"StringEquals": {"aws:PrincipalOrgID":"o-xxxxxxxxxxx"} } } }
Note
This global condition also applies to the management account of an AWS organization. This policy prevents all principals outside of the specified organization from accessing the Amazon S3 bucket. This includes any AWS services that interact with your internal resources, such as AWS CloudTrail sending log data to your Amazon S3 buckets. To learn how you can safely grant access for AWS services, see aws:PrincipalIsAWSService.
For more information about AWS Organizations, see What Is AWS Organizations? in the AWS Organizations User Guide.
aws:PrincipalTag/tag-key
Use this key to compare the tag attached to the principal making the request with
the tag that you specify in the policy. If the principal has more than one tag
attached, the request context includes one aws:PrincipalTag
key for
each attached tag key.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context if the principal is using an IAM user with attached tags. It is included for a principal using an IAM role with attached tags or session tags. Anonymous requests do not include this key.
-
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
You can add custom attributes to a user or role in the form of a key-value pair.
For more information about IAM tags, see Tags for AWS Identity and Access Management resources. You can use aws:PrincipalTag
to control access for AWS
principals.
This example shows how you might create an identity-based policy that allows users with the department=hr
tag to manage IAM users, groups, or roles. To use this policy, replace the italicized placeholder text
in the example policy with your own information.
Then, follow the directions in create a policy or edit a policy.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "iam:*", "Resource": "*", "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "aws:PrincipalTag/
department
": "hr
" } } } ] }
aws:PrincipalIsAWSService
Use this key to check whether the call to your resource is being made directly by
an AWS service principal. For example,
AWS CloudTrail uses the service principal cloudtrail.amazonaws.com
to write
logs to your Amazon S3 bucket. The request context key is set to true when a service uses
a service principal to perform a direct action on your resources. The context key is
set to false if the service uses the credentials of an IAM principal to make a
request on the principal's behalf. It is also set to false if the service uses a
service
role or service-linked role to make a call on the principal's
behalf.
-
Availability – This key is present in the request context for all signed API requests that use AWS credentials. Anonymous requests do not include this key.
-
Data type – Boolean
-
Value type – Single-valued
You can use this condition key to limit access to your trusted identities and expected network locations while safely granting access to AWS services.
In the following Amazon S3 bucket policy example, access to the bucket is restricted
unless the request originates from vpc-111bbb22
or is from a service
principal, such as CloudTrail.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "Expected-network+service-principal", "Effect": "Deny", "Principal": "*", "Action": "s3:PutObject", "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::
amzn-s3-demo-bucket1
/AWSLogs/AccountNumber
/*", "Condition": { "StringNotEqualsIfExists": { "aws:SourceVpc": "vpc-111bbb22" }, "BoolIfExists": { "aws:PrincipalIsAWSService": "false" } } } ] }
In the following video, learn more
about how you might use the aws:PrincipalIsAWSService
condition key in
a policy.
aws:PrincipalServiceName
Use this key to compare the service
principal name in the policy with the service principal that is making
requests to your resources. You can use this key to check whether this call is made
by a specific service principal. When a service principal makes a direct request to
your resource, the aws:PrincipalServiceName
key contains the name of
the service principal. For example, the AWS CloudTrail service principal name is
cloudtrail.amazonaws.com
.
-
Availability – This key is present in the request when the call is made by an AWS service principal. This key is not present in any other situation, including the following:
-
If the service uses a service role or service-linked role to make a call on the principal's behalf.
-
If the service uses the credentials of an IAM principal to make a request on the principal's behalf.
-
If the call is made directly by an IAM principal.
-
If the call is made by an anonymous requester.
-
-
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
You can use this condition key to limit access to your trusted identities and expected network locations while safely granting access to an AWS service.
In the following Amazon S3 bucket policy example, access to the bucket is restricted
unless the request originates from vpc-111bbb22
or is from a service
principal, such as CloudTrail.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "expected-network+service-principal", "Effect": "Deny", "Principal": "*", "Action": "s3:PutObject", "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::

/AWSLogs/AccountNumber
/*", "Condition": { "StringNotEqualsIfExists": { "aws:SourceVpc": "vpc-111bbb22", "aws:PrincipalServiceName": "cloudtrail.amazonaws.com" } } } ] }
aws:PrincipalServiceNamesList
This key provides a list of all service
principal names that belong to the service. This is an advanced condition
key. You can use it to restrict the service from accessing your resource from a
specific Region only. Some services may create Regional service principals to
indicate a particular instance of the service within a specific Region. You can
limit access to a resource to a particular instance of the service. When a service
principal makes a direct request to your resource, the
aws:PrincipalServiceNamesList
contains an unordered list of all
service principal names associated with the Regional instance of the service.
-
Availability – This key is present in the request when the call is made by an AWS service principal. This key is not present in any other situation, including the following:
-
If the service uses a service role or service-linked role to make a call on the principal's behalf.
-
If the service uses the credentials of an IAM principal to make a request on the principal's behalf.
-
If the call is made directly by an IAM principal.
-
If the call is made by an anonymous requester.
-
-
Data type – String (list)
-
Value type – Multivalued
aws:PrincipalServiceNamesList
is a multivalued condition key.
Multivalued keys can have multiple values in the request context. You must use the
ForAnyValue
or ForAllValues
set operators with string condition operators for this key. For
more information about multivalued condition keys, see Multivalued
context keys.
aws:PrincipalType
Use this key to compare the type of principal making the request with the
principal type that you specify in the policy. For more information, see How to specify a principal. For
specific examples of principal
key values, see Principal key values.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context for all requests, including anonymous requests.
-
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
aws:userid
Use this key to compare the requester's principal identifier with the ID that you
specify in the policy. For IAM users, the request context value is the user ID.
For IAM roles, this value format can vary. For details about how the information
appears for different principals, see How to specify a principal. For specific examples of
principal
key values, see Principal key values.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context for all requests, including anonymous requests.
-
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
aws:username
Use this key to compare the requester's user name with the user name that you
specify in the policy. For details about how the information appears for different
principals, see How to specify a principal. For specific examples of
principal
key values, see Principal key values.
-
Availability – This key is always included in the request context for IAM users. Anonymous requests and requests that are made using the AWS account root user or IAM roles do not include this key. Requests made using IAM Identity Center credentials do not include this key in the context.
-
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
Properties of a role session
Use the following condition keys to compare properties of the role session at the time the session was generated. These condition keys are only available when a request is made by a principal with role session or federated user credentials. The values for these condition keys are embedded in the role’s session token.
A role is a type of principal. You can also use the condition keys from the Properties of the principal section to evaluate the properties of a role when a role is making a request.

aws:FederatedProvider
Use this key to compare the principal's issuing identity provider (IdP) with the
IdP that you specify in the policy. This means that an IAM role was assumed using
the AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity
AWS STS operation. When the resulting role
session's temporary credentials are used to make a request, the request context
identifies the IdP that authenticated the original federated identity.
-
Availability – This key is present when the principal is a role session principal and that session was issued when a role was assumed with
AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity
. -
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
For example, if the user was authenticated through Amazon Cognito, the request context
includes the value cognito-identity.amazonaws.com
. Similarly, if
the user was authenticated through Login with Amazon, the request context includes
the value www.amazon.com
.
You can use any single-valued condition key as a variable. The following example
resource-based policy uses the aws:FederatedProvider
key as a policy
variable in the ARN of a resource. This policy allows any principal who
authenticated using an IdP to get objects out of an Amazon S3 bucket with a path that's
specific to the issuing identity provider.
aws:TokenIssueTime
Use this key to compare the date and time that temporary security credentials were issued with the date and time that you specify in the policy.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context only when the principal uses temporary credentials to make the request. The key is not present in AWS CLI, AWS API, or AWS SDK requests that are made using access keys.
-
Data type – Date
-
Value type – Single-valued
To learn which services support using temporary credentials, see AWS services that work with IAM.
aws:MultiFactorAuthAge
Use this key to compare the number of seconds since the requesting principal was authorized using MFA with the number that you specify in the policy. For more information about MFA, see AWS Multi-factor authentication in IAM.
Important
This condition key is not present for federated identities or requests made using access keys to sign AWS CLI, AWS API, or AWS SDK requests. To learn more about adding MFA protection to API operations with temporary security credentials, see Secure API access with MFA.
To check whether MFA is used to validate IAM federated identities, you can pass the authentication method from your identity provider to AWS as a session tag. For details, see Pass session tags in AWS STS. To enforce MFA for IAM Identity Center identities, you can enable attributes for access control to pass a SAML assertion claim with the authentication method from your identity provider to IAM Identity Center.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context only when the principal uses temporary security credentials to make the request. Policies with MFA conditions can be attached to:
-
An IAM user or group
-
A resource such as an Amazon S3 bucket, Amazon SQS queue, or Amazon SNS topic
-
The trust policy of an IAM role that can be assumed by a user
-
-
Data type – Numeric
-
Value type – Single-valued
aws:MultiFactorAuthPresent
Use this key to check whether multi-factor authentication (MFA) was used to validate the temporary security credentials that made the request.
Important
This condition key is not present for federated identities or requests made using access keys to sign AWS CLI, AWS API, or AWS SDK requests. To learn more about adding MFA protection to API operations with temporary security credentials, see Secure API access with MFA.
To check whether MFA is used to validate IAM federated identities, you can pass the authentication method from your identity provider to AWS as a session tag. For details, see Pass session tags in AWS STS. To enforce MFA for IAM Identity Center identities, you can enable attributes for access control to pass a SAML assertion claim with the authentication method from your identity provider to IAM Identity Center.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context only when the principal uses temporary credentials to make the request. Policies with MFA conditions can be attached to:
-
An IAM user or group
-
A resource such as an Amazon S3 bucket, Amazon SQS queue, or Amazon SNS topic
-
The trust policy of an IAM role that can be assumed by a user
-
-
Data type – Boolean
-
Value type – Single-valued
Temporary credentials are used to authenticate IAM roles and IAM users with temporary tokens from AssumeRole or GetSessionToken, and users of the AWS Management Console.
IAM user access keys are long-term credentials, but in some cases, AWS creates
temporary credentials on behalf of IAM users to perform operations. In these
cases, the aws:MultiFactorAuthPresent
key is present in the request and
set to a value of false
. There are two common cases where this can
happen:
-
IAM users in the AWS Management Console unknowingly use temporary credentials. Users sign into the console using their user name and password, which are long-term credentials. However, in the background, the console generates temporary credentials on behalf of the user.
-
If an IAM user makes a call to an AWS service, the service re-uses the user's credentials to make another request to a different service. For example, when calling Athena to access an Amazon S3 bucket, or when using AWS CloudFormation to create an Amazon EC2 instance. For the subsequent request, AWS uses temporary credentials.
To learn which services support using temporary credentials, see AWS services that work with IAM.
The aws:MultiFactorAuthPresent
key is not present when an API or CLI
command is called with long-term credentials, such as user access key pairs.
Therefore we recommend that when you check for this key that you use the ...IfExists
versions of the
condition operators.
It is important to understand that the following Condition
element is
not a reliable way to
check whether a request is authenticated using MFA.
##### WARNING: NOT RECOMMENDED #####
"Effect" : "Deny",
"Condition" : { "Bool" : { "aws:MultiFactorAuthPresent" : "false" } }
This combination of the Deny
effect, Bool
element, and
false
value denies requests that can be authenticated using MFA,
but were not. This applies only to temporary credentials that support using MFA.
This statement does not deny access to requests that are made using long-term
credentials, or to requests that are authenticated using MFA. Use this example with
caution because its logic is complicated and it does not test whether
MFA-authentication was actually used.
Also do not use the combination of the Deny
effect, Null
element, and true
because it behaves the same way and the logic is even
more complicated.
Recommended Combination
We recommend that you use the BoolIfExists operator to check whether a request is authenticated using MFA.
"Effect" : "Deny", "Condition" : { "BoolIfExists" : { "aws:MultiFactorAuthPresent" : "false" } }
This combination of Deny
, BoolIfExists
, and
false
denies requests that are not authenticated using MFA.
Specifically, it denies requests from temporary credentials that do not include MFA.
It also denies requests that are made using long-term credentials, such as AWS CLI or
AWS API operations made using access keys. The *IfExists
operator
checks for the presence of the aws:MultiFactorAuthPresent
key and
whether or not it could be present, as indicated by its existence. Use this when you
want to deny any request that is not authenticated using MFA. This is more secure,
but can break any code or scripts that use access keys to access the AWS CLI or AWS
API.
Alternative Combinations
You can also use the BoolIfExists operator to allow MFA-authenticated requests and AWS CLI or AWS API requests that are made using long-term credentials.
"Effect" : "Allow", "Condition" : { "BoolIfExists" : { "aws:MultiFactorAuthPresent" : "true" } }
This condition matches either if the key exists and is present or if the key does not exist. This combination of
Allow
, BoolIfExists
, and true
allows
requests that are authenticated using MFA, or requests that cannot be authenticated
using MFA. This means that AWS CLI, AWS API, and AWS SDK operations are allowed
when the requester uses their long-term access keys. This combination does not allow
requests from temporary credentials that could, but do not include MFA.
When you create a policy using the IAM console visual editor and choose MFA required, this combination is applied. This setting requires MFA for console access, but allows programmatic access with no MFA.
Alternatively, you can use the Bool
operator to allow programmatic
and console requests only when authenticated using MFA.
"Effect" : "Allow",
"Condition" : { "Bool" : { "aws:MultiFactorAuthPresent" : "true" } }
This combination of the Allow
, Bool
, and
true
allows only MFA-authenticated requests. This applies only to
temporary credentials that support using MFA. This statement does not allow access
to requests that were made using long-term access keys, or to requests made using
temporary credentials without MFA.
Do not use a policy construct similar to the following to check whether the MFA key is present:
##### WARNING: USE WITH CAUTION #####
"Effect" : "Allow",
"Condition" : { "Null" : { "aws:MultiFactorAuthPresent" : "false" } }
This combination of the Allow
effect, Null
element, and
false
value allows only requests that can be authenticated using
MFA, regardless of whether the request is actually authenticated. This allows all
requests that are made using temporary credentials, and denies access for long-term
credentials. Use this example with caution because it does not test whether
MFA-authentication was actually used.
aws:ChatbotSourceArn
Use this key to compare the source chat configuration ARN set by the principal to the chat configuration ARN you specify in the policy of the IAM role associated with your channel configuration. You can authorize requests based on the assume role session initiated by AWS Chatbot.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context by the AWS Chatbot service whenever a role session is assumed. The key value is the chat configuration ARN, such as when you run an AWS CLI command from a chat channel.
-
Data type – ARN
-
Value type – Single-valued
-
Example value –
arn:aws::chatbot::123456789021:chat-configuration/slack-channel/private_channel
The following policy denies Amazon S3 put requests on the specified bucket for all requests originating from a Slack channel.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "ExampleS3Deny", "Effect": "Deny", "Action": "s3:PutObject", "Resource": "arn:aws::s3:::amzn-s3-demo-bucket/*", "Condition": { "StringLike": { "aws:ChatbotSourceArn": "arn:aws::chatbot::*:chat-configuration/slack-channel/*" } } } ] }
aws:Ec2InstanceSourceVpc
This key identifies the VPC to which Amazon EC2 IAM role credentials were delivered
to. You can use this key in a policy with the aws:SourceVPC global key
to check if a call is made from a VPC (aws:SourceVPC
) that matches the
VPC where a credential was delivered to
(aws:Ec2InstanceSourceVpc
).
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context whenever the requester is signing requests with an Amazon EC2 role credential. It can be used in IAM policies, service control policies, VPC endpoint policies, and resource policies.
-
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
This key can be used with VPC identifier values, but is most useful when used as a
variable combined with the aws:SourceVpc
context key. The
aws:SourceVpc
context key is included in the request context only
if the requester uses a VPC endpoint to make the request. Using
aws:Ec2InstanceSourceVpc
with aws:SourceVpc
allows you
to use aws:Ec2InstanceSourceVpc
more broadly since it compares values
that typically change together.
Note
This condition key is not available in EC2-Classic.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "RequireSameVPC", "Effect": "Deny", "Action": "*", "Resource": "*", "Condition": { "StringNotEquals": { "aws:SourceVpc": "${aws:Ec2InstanceSourceVpc}" }, "Null": { "ec2:SourceInstanceARN": "false" }, "BoolIfExists": { "aws:ViaAWSService": "false" } } } ] }
In the example above, access is denied if the aws:SourceVpc
value
isn’t equal to the aws:Ec2InstanceSourceVpc
value. The policy statement
is limited to only roles used as Amazon EC2 instance roles by testing for the existence
of the ec2:SourceInstanceARN
condition key.
The policy uses aws:ViaAWSService
to allow AWS to authorize
requests when requests are made on behalf of your Amazon EC2 instance roles. For example,
when you make a request from an Amazon EC2 instance to an encrypted Amazon S3 bucket, Amazon S3
makes a call to AWS KMS on your behalf. Some of the keys are not present when the
request is made to AWS KMS.
aws:Ec2InstanceSourcePrivateIPv4
This key identifies the private IPv4 address of the primary elastic network
interface to which Amazon EC2 IAM role credentials were delivered. You must use this
condition key with its companion key aws:Ec2InstanceSourceVpc
to ensure
that you have a globally unique combination of VPC ID and source private IP. Use
this key with aws:Ec2InstanceSourceVpc
to ensure that a request was
made from the same private IP address that the credentials were delivered to.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context whenever the requester is signing requests with an Amazon EC2 role credential. It can be used in IAM policies, service control policies, VPC endpoint policies, and resource policies.
-
Data type – IP address
-
Value type – Single-valued
Important
This key should not be used alone in an Allow
statement. Private
IP addresses are by definition not globally unique. You should use the
aws:Ec2InstanceSourceVpc
key every time you use the
aws:Ec2InstanceSourcePrivateIPv4
key to specify the VPC your
Amazon EC2 instance credentials can be used from.
Note
This condition key is not available in EC2-Classic.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Deny", "Action": "*", "Resource": "*", "Condition": { "StringNotEquals": { "aws:Ec2InstanceSourceVpc": "${aws:SourceVpc}" }, "Null": { "ec2:SourceInstanceARN": "false" }, "BoolIfExists": { "aws:ViaAWSService": "false" } } }, { "Effect": "Deny", "Action": "*", "Resource": "*", "Condition": { "StringNotEquals": { "aws:Ec2InstanceSourcePrivateIPv4": "${aws:VpcSourceIp}" }, "Null": { "ec2:SourceInstanceARN": "false" }, "BoolIfExists": { "aws:ViaAWSService": "false" } } } ] }
aws:SourceIdentity
Use this key to compare the source identity that was set by the principal with the source identity that you specify in the policy.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context after a source identity has been set when a role is assumed using any AWS STS assume-role CLI command, or AWS STS
AssumeRole
API operation. -
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
You can use this key in a policy to allow actions in AWS by principals that have set a source identity when assuming a role. Activity for the role's specified source identity appears in AWS CloudTrail. This makes it easier for administrators to determine who or what performed actions with a role in AWS.
Unlike sts:RoleSessionName, after the source identity is set, the value cannot be changed. It is present in the request context for all actions taken by the role. The value persists into subsequent role sessions when you use the session credentials to assume another role. Assuming one role from another is called role chaining.
The sts:SourceIdentity key
is present in the request when the principal initially sets a source identity while
assuming a role using any AWS STS assume-role CLI command, or AWS STS
AssumeRole
API operation. The aws:SourceIdentity
key
is present in the request for any actions that are taken with a role session that
has a source identity set.
The following role trust policy for CriticalRole
in account
111122223333
contains a condition for
aws:SourceIdentity
that prevents a principal without a source
identity that is set to Saanvi or Diego from assuming the role.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "AssumeRoleIfSourceIdentity", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": {"AWS": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/CriticalRole"}, "Action": [ "sts:AssumeRole", "sts:SetSourceIdentity" ], "Condition": { "StringLike": { "aws:SourceIdentity": ["Saanvi","Diego"] } } } ] }
To learn more about using source identity information, see Monitor and control actions taken with assumed roles.
ec2:RoleDelivery
Use this key to compare the version of the instance metadata service in the signed
request with the IAM role credentials for Amazon EC2. The instance metadata service
distinguishes between IMDSv1 and IMDSv2 requests based on whether, for any given
request, either the PUT
or GET
headers, which are unique
to IMDSv2, are present in that request.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context whenever the role session is created by an Amazon EC2 instance.
-
Data type – Numeric
-
Value type – Single-valued
-
Example values – 1.0, 2.0
You can configure the Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) on each instance so that local code or users must use IMDSv2. When you specify that IMDSv2 must be used, IMDSv1 no longer works.
-
Instance Metadata Service Version 1 (IMDSv1) – A request/response method
-
Instance Metadata Service Version 2 (IMDSv2) – a session-oriented method
For information about how to configure your instance to use IMDSv2, see Configure the instance metadata options.
In the following example, access is denied if the ec2:RoleDelivery value in the request context is 1.0 (IMDSv1). This policy statement can be applied generally because, if the request is not signed by Amazon EC2 role credentials, it has no effect.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "RequireAllEc2RolesToUseV2", "Effect": "Deny", "Action": "*", "Resource": "*", "Condition": { "NumericLessThan": { "ec2:RoleDelivery": "2.0" } } } ] }
For more information, see Example policies for working with instance metadata.
ec2:SourceInstanceArn
Use this key to compare the ARN of the instance from which the role’s session was generated.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context whenever the role session is created by an Amazon EC2 instance.
-
Data type – ARN
-
Value type – Single-valued
-
Example value – arn:aws::ec2:us-west-2:111111111111:instance/instance-id
For policy examples, see Allow a specific instance to view resources in other AWS services.
glue:RoleAssumedBy
The AWS Glue service sets this condition key for each AWS API request where AWS Glue makes a request using a service role on the customer's behalf (not by a job or developer endpoint, but directly by the AWS Glue service). Use this key to verify whether a call to an AWS resource came from the AWS Glue service.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context when AWS Glue makes a request using a service role on the customer's behalf.
-
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
-
Example value – This key is always set to
glue.amazonaws.com
.
The following example adds a condition to allow the AWS Glue service to get an object from an Amazon S3 bucket.
{ "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "s3:GetObject", "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::amzn-s3-demo-bucket/*", "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "glue:RoleAssumedBy": "glue.amazonaws.com" } } }
glue:CredentialIssuingService
The AWS Glue service sets this key for each AWS API request using a service role that comes from a job or developer endpoint. Use this key to verify whether a call to an AWS resource came from an AWS Glue job or developer endpoint.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context when AWS Glue makes a request that comes from a job or developer endpoint.
-
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
-
Example value – This key is always set to
glue.amazonaws.com
.
The following example adds a condition that is attached to an IAM role that is used by an AWS Glue job. This ensures certain actions are allowed/denied based on whether the role session is used for an AWS Glue job runtime environment.
{ "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "s3:GetObject", "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::amzn-s3-demo-bucket/*", "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "glue:CredentialIssuingService": "glue.amazonaws.com" } } }
lambda:SourceFunctionArn
Use this key to identify the Lambda function ARN that IAM role credentials were delivered to. The Lambda service sets this key for each AWS API request that comes from your function's execution environment. Use this key to verify whether a call to an AWS resource came from a specific Lambda function’s code. Lambda also sets this key for some requests that come from outside the execution environment, such as writing logs to CloudWatch and sending traces to X-Ray.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context whenever Lambda function code is invoked.
-
Data type – ARN
-
Value type – Single-valued
-
Example value – arn:aws::lambda:us-east-1:123456789012:function:TestFunction
The following example allows one specific Lambda function to have
s3:PutObject
access the specified bucket.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "ExampleSourceFunctionArn", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "s3:PutObject", "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::amzn-s3-demo-bucket/*", "Condition": { "ArnEquals": { "lambda:SourceFunctionArn": "arn:aws::lambda:us-east-1:123456789012:function:source_lambda" } } } ] }
For more information, see Working with Lambda execution environment credentials in the AWS Lambda Developer Guide.
ssm:SourceInstanceArn
Use this key to identify the AWS Systems Manager managed instance ARN that IAM role credentials were delivered to. This condition key is not present when the request comes from a managed instance with an IAM role associated with an Amazon EC2 instance profile.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context whenever role credentials are delivered to an AWS Systems Manager managed instance.
-
Data type – ARN
-
Value type – Single-valued
-
Example value – arn:aws::ec2:us-west-2:111111111111:instance/instance-id
identitystore:UserId
Use this key to compare IAM Identity Center workforce identity in the signed request with the identity specified in the policy.
-
Availability – This key is included when the caller of the request is a user in IAM Identity Center.
-
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
-
Example value – 94482488-3041-7026-18f3-be45837cd0e4
You can find the UserId of a user in IAM Identity Center by making a request to the GetUserId API using the AWS CLI, AWS API, or AWS SDK.
Properties of the network
Use the following condition keys to compare details about the network that the request originated from or passed through with the network properties that you specify in the policy.
aws:SourceIp
Use this key to compare the requester's IP address with the IP address that you
specify in the policy. The aws:SourceIp
condition key can only be used
for public IP address ranges.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context, except when the requester uses a VPC endpoint to make the request.
-
Data type – IP address
-
Value type – Single-valued
The aws:SourceIp
condition key can be used in a policy to allow
principals to make requests only from within a specified IP range.
Note
aws:SourceIp
supports both IPv4 and IPv6 address or range of IP
addresses. For a list of AWS services that support IPv6, see AWS services that support IPv6 in the
Amazon VPC User Guide.
For example, you can attach the following identity-based policy to an IAM role.
This policy allows the user to put objects into the
amzn-s3-demo-bucket3
Amazon S3 bucket if they make the call from the
specified IPv4 address range. This policy also allows an AWS service that uses
Forward access sessions to perform this operation on
your behalf.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "PrincipalPutObjectIfIpAddress", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "s3:PutObject", "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::amzn-s3-demo-bucket3/*", "Condition": { "IpAddress": { "aws:SourceIp": "
203.0.113.0/24
" } } } ] }
If you need to restrict access from networks that support both IPv4 and IPv6
addressing, you can include the IPv4 and IPv6 address or ranges of IP addresses in
the IAM policy condition. The following identity-based policy will allow the user
to put objects into the amzn-s3-demo-bucket3
Amazon S3 bucket if the user
makes the call from either specified IPv4 or IPv6 address ranges. Before you include
IPv6 address ranges in your IAM policy, verify that the AWS service you are
working with supports IPv6. For a list of AWS services that support IPv6, see
AWS services that support IPv6 in the
Amazon VPC User Guide.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "PrincipalPutObjectIfIpAddress", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "s3:PutObject", "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::amzn-s3-demo-bucket3/*", "Condition": { "IpAddress": { "aws:SourceIp": [ "
203.0.113.0/24
", "2001:DB8:1234:5678::/64
" ] } } } ] }
If the request comes from a host that uses an Amazon VPC endpoint, then the
aws:SourceIp
key is not available. You should instead use a
VPC-specific key such as aws:VpcSourceIp. For more information about using VPC endpoints, see
Identity and access
management for VPC endpoints and VPC endpoint services in the
AWS PrivateLink Guide.
aws:SourceVpc
Use this key to check whether the request travels through the VPC that the VPC endpoint is attached to. In a policy, you can use this key to allow access to only a specific VPC. For more information, see Restricting Access to a Specific VPC in the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context only if the requester uses a VPC endpoint to make the request.
-
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
In a policy, you can use this key to allow or restrict access to a specific VPC.
For example, you can attach the following identity-based policy to an IAM role
to deny PutObject
to the amzn-s3-demo-bucket3
Amazon S3 bucket,
unless the request is made from the specified VPC ID or by AWS services that use
forward access
sessions (FAS) to make requests on behalf of the role. Unlike with aws:SourceIp, you
must use aws:ViaAWSService or aws:CalledVia to
allow FAS requests, because the source VPC of the initial request is not
preserved.
Note
This policy does not allow any actions. Use this policy in combination with other policies that allow specific actions.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "PutObjectIfNotVPCID", "Effect": "Deny", "Action": "s3:PutObject", "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::amzn-s3-demo-bucket3/*", "Condition": { "StringNotEqualsIfExists": { "aws:SourceVpc": "vpc-1234567890abcdef0" }, "Bool": { "aws:ViaAWSService": "false" } } } ] }
For an example of how to apply this key in a resource-based policy, see Restricting access to a specific VPC in the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide.
aws:SourceVpce
Use this key to compare the VPC endpoint identifier of the request with the endpoint ID that you specify in the policy.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context only if the requester uses a VPC endpoint to make the request.
-
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
In a policy, you can use this key to restrict access to a specific VPC endpoint. For more information, see Restricting access to a specific VPC in the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide. Similarly to using aws:SourceVpc, you must use aws:ViaAWSService or aws:CalledVia to allow requests made by AWS services using forward access sessions (FAS). This is because the source VPC endpoint of the initial request is not preserved.
aws:VpcSourceIp
Use this key to compare the IP address from which a request was made with the IP address that you specify in the policy. In a policy, the key matches only if the request originates from the specified IP address and it goes through a VPC endpoint.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context only if the request is made using a VPC endpoint.
-
Data type – IP address
-
Value type – Single-valued
For more information, see Control access to VPC endpoints using endpoint policies in the Amazon VPC User Guide. Similarly to using aws:SourceVpc, you must use aws:ViaAWSService or aws:CalledVia to allow requests made by AWS services using forward access sessions (FAS). This is because the source IP of the initial request made using a VPC endpoint is not preserved in FAS requests.
Note
aws:VpcSourceIp
supports both IPv4 and IPv6 address or range of
IP addresses. For a list of AWS services that support IPv6, see AWS services that support IPv6 in the
Amazon VPC User Guide.
The aws:VpcSourceIp
condition key should always be used in
conjunction with either the aws:SourceVpc
or the
aws:SourceVpce
condition keys. Otherwise, it is possible for
API calls from an unexpected VPC that uses the same or overlapping IP CIDR to be
permitted by a policy. This can occur because the IP CIDRs from the two
unrelated VPCs can be the same or overlap. Instead, VPC IDs or VPC Endpoints IDs
should be used in the policy as they have globally unique identifiers. These
unique identifiers ensure that unexpected results will not occur.
Properties of the resource
Use the following condition keys to compare details about the resource that is the target of the request with the resource properties that you specify in the policy.
aws:ResourceAccount
Use this key to compare the requested resource owner's AWS account ID with the resource account in the policy. You can then allow or deny access to that resource based on the account that owns the resource.

This key is equal to the AWS account ID for the account with the resources evaluated in the request.
For most resources in your account, the ARN contains the owner account ID for that resource. For certain resources, such as Amazon S3 buckets, the resource ARN does not include the account ID. The following two examples show the difference between a resource with an account ID in the ARN, and an Amazon S3 ARN without an account ID:
-
arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/AWSExampleRole
– IAM role created and owned within the account 123456789012. -
arn:aws:s3:::amzn-s3-demo-bucket2
– Amazon S3 bucket created and owned within the account111122223333
, not displayed in the ARN.
Use the AWS console, or API, or CLI, to find all of your resources and corresponding ARNs.
You write a policy that denies permissions to resources based on the resource owner's account ID. For example, the following identity-based policy denies access to the specified resource if the resource does not belong to the specified account.
To use this policy, replace the italicized placeholder text with your account information.
Important
This policy does not allow any actions. Instead, it uses the Deny
effect which explicitly denies access to all of the resources listed in the
statement that do not belong to the listed account. Use this policy in
combination with other policies that allow access to specific resources.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "DenyInteractionWithResourcesNotInSpecificAccount", "Action": "

:*", "Effect": "Deny", "Resource": [ "arn:aws:service
:region
:account
:*
" ], "Condition": { "StringNotEquals": { "aws:ResourceAccount": [ "account
" ] } } } ] }
This policy denies access to all resources for a specific AWS service unless the specified AWS account owns the resource.
Note
Some AWS services require access to AWS owned resources that are hosted in
another AWS account. Using aws:ResourceAccount
in your
identity-based policies might impact your identity's ability to access these
resources.
Certain AWS services, such as AWS Data Exchange, rely on access to resources outside of your
AWS accounts for normal operations. If you use the element
aws:ResourceAccount
in your policies, include additional statements
to create exemptions for those services. The example policy AWS: Deny access to
Amazon S3 resources outside your account except AWS Data Exchange
demonstrates how to deny access based on the resource account while defining
exceptions for service-owned resources.
Use this policy example as a template for creating your own custom policies. Refer to your service documentation for more information.
aws:ResourceOrgPaths
Use this key to compare the AWS Organizations path for the accessed resource to the path in the policy. In a policy, this condition key ensures that the resource belongs to an account member within the specified organization root or organizational units (OUs) in AWS Organizations. An AWS Organizations path is a text representation of the structure of an Organizations entity. For more information about using and understanding paths, see Understand the AWS Organizations entity path

aws:ResourceOrgPaths
is a multivalued condition key. Multivalued keys
can have multiple values in the request context. You must use the
ForAnyValue
or ForAllValues
set operators with string condition operators for this key. For
more information about multivalued condition keys, see Multivalued
context keys.
For example, the following condition returns True
for resources that
belong to the organization o-a1b2c3d4e5
. When you include a wildcard,
you must use the StringLike condition operator.
"Condition": { "ForAnyValue:StringLike": { "aws:ResourceOrgPaths":["o-a1b2c3d4e5/*"] } }
The following condition returns True
for resources with the OU ID
ou-ab12-11111111
. It will match resources owned by accounts
attached to the OU ou-ab12-11111111 or any of the child OUs.
"Condition": { "ForAnyValue:StringLike" : { "aws:ResourceOrgPaths":["o-a1b2c3d4e5/r-ab12/ou-ab12-11111111/*"] }}
The following condition returns True
for resources owned by accounts
attached directly to the OU ID ou-ab12-22222222
, but not the child OUs.
The following example uses the StringEquals
condition operator to specify the exact match requirement for the OU ID and not a
wildcard match.
"Condition": { "ForAnyValue:StringEquals" : { "aws:ResourceOrgPaths":["o-a1b2c3d4e5/r-ab12/ou-ab12-11111111/ou-ab12-22222222/"] }}
Note
Some AWS services require access to AWS owned resources that are hosted in
another AWS account. Using aws:ResourceOrgPaths
in your
identity-based policies might impact your identity's ability to access these
resources.
Certain AWS services, such as AWS Data Exchange, rely on access to resources outside of your
AWS accounts for normal operations. If you use the
aws:ResourceOrgPaths
key in your policies, include additional
statements to create exemptions for those services. The example policy AWS: Deny access to
Amazon S3 resources outside your account except AWS Data Exchange
demonstrates how to deny access based on the resource account while defining
exceptions for service-owned resources. You can create a similar policy to restrict
access to resources within an organizational unit (OU) using the
aws:ResourceOrgPaths
key, while accounting for service-owned
resources.
Use this policy example as a template for creating your own custom policies. Refer to your service documentation for more information.
aws:ResourceOrgID
Use this key to compare the identifier of the organization in AWS Organizations to which the requested resource belongs with the identifier specified in the policy.

specified in the Resource
element of an identity-based policy. You
can specify the organization
ID in the condition element. When you add and remove accounts, policies
that include the aws:ResourceOrgID
key automatically include the
correct accounts and you don't have to manually update it.
For example, the following policy prevents the principal from adding objects to
the policy-genius-dev
resource unless the Amazon S3 resource belongs to the
same organization as the principal making the request.
Important
This policy does not allow any actions. Instead, it uses the Deny
effect which explicitly denies access to all of the resources listed in the
statement that do not belong to the listed account. Use this policy in
combination with other policies that allow access to specific resources.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": { "Sid": "DenyPutObjectToS3ResourcesOutsideMyOrganization", "Effect": "Deny", "Action": "s3:PutObject", "Resource": "arn:

:s3:::policy-genius-dev/*", "Condition": { "StringNotEquals": { "aws:ResourceOrgID": "${aws:PrincipalOrgID}" } } } }
Note
Some AWS services require access to AWS owned resources that are hosted in
another AWS account. Using aws:ResourceOrgID
in your
identity-based policies might impact your identity's ability to access these
resources.
Certain AWS services, such as AWS Data Exchange, rely on access to resources outside of your
AWS accounts for normal operations. If you use the aws:ResourceOrgID
key in your policies, include additional statements to create exemptions for those
services. The example policy AWS: Deny access to
Amazon S3 resources outside your account except AWS Data Exchange
demonstrates how to deny access based on the resource account while defining
exceptions for service-owned resources. You can create a similar policy to restrict
access to resources within your organization using the
aws:ResourceOrgID
key, while accounting for service-owned
resources.
Use this policy example as a template for creating your own custom policies. Refer to your service documentation for more information.
In the following video, learn more
about how you might use the aws:ResourceOrgID
condition key in a
policy.
aws:ResourceTag/tag-key
Use this key to compare the tag key-value pair that you specify in the policy with
the key-value pair attached to the resource. For example, you could require that
access to a resource is allowed only if the resource has the attached tag key
"Dept"
with the value "Marketing"
. For more
information, see Controlling access to AWS
resources.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context when the requested resource already has attached tags or in requests that create a resource with an attached tag. This key is returned only for resources that support authorization based on tags. There is one context key for each tag key-value pair.
-
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
This context key is formatted
"aws:ResourceTag/
where tag-key
":"tag-value
"tag-key
and tag-value
are a tag key and value pair. Tag keys and values are not case-sensitive. This means
that if you specify "aws:ResourceTag/TagKey1": "Value1"
in the
condition element of your policy, then the condition matches a resource tag key
named either TagKey1
or tagkey1
, but not both.
For examples of using the aws:ResourceTag
key to control access to
IAM resources, see Controlling access to AWS
resources.
For examples of using the aws:ResourceTag
key to control access to
other AWS resources, see Controlling access to AWS resources using tags.
For a tutorial on using the aws:ResourceTag
condition key for
attribute based access control (ABAC), see IAM tutorial: Define permissions to
access AWS resources based on tags.
Properties of the request
Use the following condition keys to compare details about the request itself and the contents of the request with the request properties that you specify in the policy.
Contents
aws:CalledVia
Use this key to compare the services in the policy with the services that made
requests on behalf of the IAM principal (user or role). When a principal makes a
request to an AWS service, that service might use the principal's credentials to
make subsequent requests to other services. The aws:CalledVia
key
contains an ordered list of each service in the chain that made requests on the
principal's behalf.
For example, you can use AWS CloudFormation to read and write from an Amazon DynamoDB table. DynamoDB then uses encryption supplied by AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS).
-
Availability – This key is present in the request when a service that supports
aws:CalledVia
uses the credentials of an IAM principal to make a request to another service. This key is not present if the service uses a service role or service-linked role to make a call on the principal's behalf. This key is also not present when the principal makes the call directly. -
Data type – String (list)
-
Value type – Multivalued
To use the aws:CalledVia
condition key in a policy, you must provide
the service principals to allow or deny AWS service requests. AWS supports using
the following service principals with aws:CalledVia
.
Service principal |
---|
aoss.amazonaws.com |
athena.amazonaws.com |
backup.amazonaws.com |
cloud9.amazonaws.com |
cloudformation.amazonaws.com |
databrew.amazonaws.com |
dataexchange.amazonaws.com |
dynamodb.amazonaws.com |
imagebuilder.amazonaws.com |
kms.amazonaws.com |
mgn.amazonaws.com |
nimble.amazonaws.com |
omics.amazonaws.com |
ram.amazonaws.com |
robomaker.amazonaws.com |
servicecatalog-appregistry.amazonaws.com |
sqlworkbench.amazonaws.com |
ssm-guiconnect.amazonaws.com |
To allow or deny access when any service makes
a request using the principal's credentials, use the aws:ViaAWSService
condition key. That
condition key supports AWS services.
The aws:CalledVia
key is a multivalued key. However, you can't enforce order using this key in a
condition. Using the example above, User 1 makes a request to
AWS CloudFormation, which calls DynamoDB, which calls AWS KMS. These are three separate requests. The
final call to AWS KMS is performed by User 1 via
AWS CloudFormation and then DynamoDB.
In this case, the aws:CalledVia
key in the request context includes
cloudformation.amazonaws.com
and dynamodb.amazonaws.com
,
in that order. If you care only that the call was made via DynamoDB somewhere in the
chain of requests, you can use this condition key in your policy.
For example, the following policy allows managing the AWS KMS key named
my-example-key
, but only if DynamoDB is one of the requesting
services. The ForAnyValue:StringEquals
condition operator ensures that
DynamoDB is one of the calling services. If the principal makes the call to AWS KMS
directly, the condition returns false
and the request is not allowed by
this policy.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "KmsActionsIfCalledViaDynamodb", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "kms:Encrypt", "kms:Decrypt", "kms:ReEncrypt*", "kms:GenerateDataKey", "kms:DescribeKey" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:kms:
region
:111122223333
:key/my-example-key
", "Condition": { "ForAnyValue:StringEquals": { "aws:CalledVia": ["dynamodb.amazonaws.com"] } } } ] }
If you want to enforce which service makes the first or last call in the chain,
you can use the aws:CalledViaFirst
and aws:CalledViaLast
keys. For example, the following policy allows managing the key named
my-example-key
in AWS KMS. These AWS KMS operations are allowed only if
multiple requests were included in the chain. The first request must be made via
AWS CloudFormation and the last via DynamoDB. If other services make requests in the middle of the
chain, the operation is still allowed.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "KmsActionsIfCalledViaChain", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "kms:Encrypt", "kms:Decrypt", "kms:ReEncrypt*", "kms:GenerateDataKey", "kms:DescribeKey" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:kms:
region
:111122223333
:key/my-example-key
", "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "aws:CalledViaFirst": "cloudformation.amazonaws.com", "aws:CalledViaLast": "dynamodb.amazonaws.com" } } } ] }
The aws:CalledViaFirst
and aws:CalledViaLast
keys
are present in the request when a service uses an IAM principal's credentials to
call another service. They indicate the first and last services that made calls in
the chain of requests. For example, assume that AWS CloudFormation calls another service named
X Service
, which calls DynamoDB, which then calls AWS KMS. The final
call to AWS KMS is performed by User 1
via AWS CloudFormation, then X Service
, and then
DynamoDB. It was first called via AWS CloudFormation and last called via DynamoDB.
aws:CalledViaFirst
Use this key to compare the services in the policy with the first service that
made a request on behalf of the IAM principal (user or role). For more
information, see aws:CalledVia
.
-
Availability – This key is present in the request when a service uses the credentials of an IAM principal to make at least one other request to a different service. This key is not present if the service uses a service role or service-linked role to make a call on the principal's behalf. This key is also not present when the principal makes the call directly.
-
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
aws:CalledViaLast
Use this key to compare the services in the policy with the last service that made a request on behalf of the IAM
principal (user or role). For more information, see aws:CalledVia
.
-
Availability – This key is present in the request when a service uses the credentials of an IAM principal to make at least one other request to a different service. This key is not present if the service uses a service role or service-linked role to make a call on the principal's behalf. This key is also not present when the principal makes the call directly.
-
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
aws:ViaAWSService
Use this key to check whether an AWS service makes a request to another service on your behalf using forward access sessions (FAS).
The request context key returns true
when a service uses forward
access sessions to make a request on behalf of the original IAM principal. The
context key returns false
if the service uses a service
role or service-linked role to make a call on the principal's behalf.
The request context key also returns false
when the principal makes the
call directly.
-
Availability – This key is always included in the request context.
-
Data type – Boolean
-
Value type – Single-valued
aws:CurrentTime
Use this key to compare the date and time of the request with the date and time that you specify in the policy. To view an example policy that uses this condition key, see AWS: Allows access based on date and time.
-
Availability – This key is always included in the request context.
-
Data type – Date
-
Value type – Single-valued
aws:EpochTime
Use this key to compare the date and time of the request in epoch or Unix time with the value that you specify in the policy. This key also accepts the number of seconds since January 1, 1970.
aws:referer
Use this key to compare who referred the request in the client browser with the
referer that you specify in the policy. The aws:referer
request context
value is provided by the caller in an HTTP header. The Referer
header
is included in a web browser request when you select a link on a web page. The
Referer
header contains the URL of the web page where the link was
selected.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context only if the request to the AWS resource was invoked by linking from a web page URL in the browser. This key is not included for programmatic requests because it doesn't use a browser link to access the AWS resource.
-
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
For example, you can access an Amazon S3 object directly using a URL or using direct
API invocation. For more information, see Amazon S3 API operations directly using a web browser. When you access an
Amazon S3 object from a URL that exists in a webpage, the URL of the source web page is
in used in aws:referer
. When you access an Amazon S3 object by typing the
URL into your browser, aws:referer
is not present. When you invoke the
API directly, aws:referer
is also not present. You can use the
aws:referer
condition key in a policy to allow requests made from a
specific referer, such as a link on a web page in your company's domain.
Warning
This key should be used carefully. It is dangerous to include a publicly known
referer header value. Unauthorized parties can use modified or custom browsers
to provide any aws:referer
value that they choose. As a result,
aws:referer
should not be used to prevent unauthorized parties
from making direct AWS requests. It is offered only to allow customers to
protect their digital content, such as content stored in Amazon S3, from being
referenced on unauthorized third-party sites.
aws:RequestedRegion
Use this key to compare the AWS Region that was called in the request with the Region that you specify in the policy. You can use this global condition key to control which Regions can be requested. To view the AWS Regions for each service, see Service endpoints and quotas in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.
-
Availability – This key is always included in the request context.
-
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
Some global services, such as IAM, have a single endpoint. Because this endpoint is physically located in the US East (N. Virginia) Region, IAM calls are always made to the us-east-1 Region. For example, if you create a policy that denies access to all services if the requested Region is not us-west-2, then IAM calls always fail. To view an example of how to work around this, see NotAction with Deny.
Note
The aws:RequestedRegion
condition key allows you to control which
endpoint of a service is invoked but does not control the impact of the
operation. Some services have cross-Region impacts.
For example, Amazon S3 has API operations that extend across regions.
-
You can invoke
s3:PutBucketReplication
in one Region (which is affected by theaws:RequestedRegion
condition key), but other Regions are affected based on the replications configuration settings. -
You can invoke
s3:CreateBucket
to create a bucket in another region, and use thes3:LocationConstraint
condition key to control the applicable regions.
You can use this context key to limit access to AWS services within a given set of Regions. For example, the following policy allows a user to view all of the Amazon EC2 instances in the AWS Management Console. However it only allows them to make changes to instances in Ireland (eu-west-1), London (eu-west-2), or Paris (eu-west-3).
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "InstanceConsoleReadOnly", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "ec2:Describe*", "ec2:Export*", "ec2:Get*", "ec2:Search*" ], "Resource": "*" }, { "Sid": "InstanceWriteRegionRestricted", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "ec2:Associate*", "ec2:Import*", "ec2:Modify*", "ec2:Monitor*", "ec2:Reset*", "ec2:Run*", "ec2:Start*", "ec2:Stop*", "ec2:Terminate*" ], "Resource": "*", "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "aws:RequestedRegion": [ "eu-west-1", "eu-west-2", "eu-west-3" ] } } } ] }
aws:RequestTag/tag-key
Use this key to compare the tag key-value pair that was passed in the request with
the tag pair that you specify in the policy. For example, you could check whether
the request includes the tag key "Dept"
and that it has the value
"Accounting"
. For more information, see Controlling access during AWS
requests.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context when tag key-value pairs are passed in the request. When multiple tags are passed in the request, there is one context key for each tag key-value pair.
-
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
This context key is formatted
"aws:RequestTag/
where tag-key
":"tag-value
"tag-key
and tag-value
are a tag key and value pair. Tag keys and values are not case-sensitive. This means
that if you specify "aws:RequestTag/TagKey1": "Value1"
in the condition
element of your policy, then the condition matches a request tag key named either
TagKey1
or tagkey1
, but not both.
This example shows that while the key is single-valued, you can still use multiple key-value pairs in a request if the keys are different.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "ec2:CreateTags", "Resource": "arn:aws:ec2:::instance/*", "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "aws:RequestTag/environment": [ "preprod", "production" ], "aws:RequestTag/team": [ "engineering" ] } } } }
aws:TagKeys
Use this key to compare the tag keys in a request with the keys that you specify
in the policy. We recommend that when you use policies to control access using tags,
use the aws:TagKeys
condition key to define what tag keys are allowed.
For example policies and more information, see Controlling access based on tag
keys.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context if the operation supports passing tags in the request.
-
Data type – String (list)
-
Value type – Multivalued
This context key is formatted
"aws:TagKeys":"
where
tag-key
"tag-key
is a list of tag keys without values (for
example, ["Dept","Cost-Center"]
).
Because you can include multiple tag key-value pairs in a request, the request
content could be a multivalued request. In this case, you must use the
ForAllValues
or ForAnyValue
set operators. For more
information, see Multivalued
context keys.
Some services support tagging with resource operations, such as creating,
modifying, or deleting a resource. To allow tagging and operations as a single call,
you must create a policy that includes both the tagging action and the
resource-modifying action. You can then use the aws:TagKeys
condition
key to enforce using specific tag keys in the request. For example, to limit tags
when someone creates an Amazon EC2 snapshot, you must include the
ec2:CreateSnapshot
creation action and the
ec2:CreateTags
tagging action in the policy. To view a policy for
this scenario that uses aws:TagKeys
, see Creating a Snapshot with Tags in the
Amazon EC2 User Guide.
aws:SecureTransport
Use this key to check whether the request was sent using TLS. The request context
returns true
or false
. In a policy, you can allow specific
actions only if the request is sent using TLS.
-
Availability – This key is always included in the request context.
-
Data type – Boolean
-
Value type – Single-valued
aws:SourceArn
Use this key to compare the Amazon Resource Name
(ARN) of the resource making a service-to-service request with the ARN
that you specify in the policy, but only when the request is made by an AWS
service principal. When the source's ARN includes the account ID, it is not
necessary to use aws:SourceAccount
with
aws:SourceArn
.
This key does not work with the ARN of the principal making the request. Instead,
use aws:PrincipalArn
.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context only when the call to your resource is being made directly by an AWS service principal on behalf of a resource for which the configuration triggered the service-to-service request. The calling service passes the ARN of the original resource to the called service.
The following service integrations don't support this global condition key:
Calling service (service principal) Called service (resource-based policy) Description logdelivery.elb.amazonaws.com Amazon S3 bucket Enable Elastic Load Balancing access logging in Amazon S3 bucket logdelivery.elasticloadbalancing.amazonaws.com Amazon S3 bucket Enable Elastic Load Balancing access logging in Amazon S3 bucket Note
Not all service integrations with AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) and AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) are supported. See the documentation of the calling service for more information. Usage of
aws:SourceArn
in KMS key policies for keys used by AWS services via KMS key grants may result in unexpected behavior. -
Data type – ARN, String
AWS recommends that you use ARN operators instead of string operators when comparing ARNs.
-
Value type – Single-valued
You can use this condition key to prevent an AWS service from being used as a
confused deputy during transactions
between services. Use this key only in resource-based policies where the
Principal
is an AWS service principal. Set the value of this
condition key to the ARN of the resource in the request. For example, when an Amazon S3
bucket update triggers an Amazon SNS topic publish, the Amazon S3 service invokes the
sns:Publish
API operation. In the topic policy that allows the
sns:Publish
operation, set the value of the condition key to the
ARN of the Amazon S3 bucket. For information about how and when this condition key is
recommended, see the documentation for the AWS services you are using.
aws:SourceAccount
Use this key to compare the account ID of the resource making a service-to-service request with the account ID that you specify in the policy, but only when the request is made by an AWS service principal.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context only when the call to your resource is being made directly by an AWS service principal on behalf of a resource for which the configuration triggered the service-to-service request. The calling service passes the account ID of the original resource to the called service.
The following service integrations don't support this global condition key:
Calling service (service principal) Called service (resource-based policy) Description logdelivery.elb.amazonaws.com Amazon S3 bucket Enable Elastic Load Balancing access logging in Amazon S3 bucket logdelivery.elasticloadbalancing.amazonaws.com Amazon S3 bucket Enable Elastic Load Balancing access logging in Amazon S3 bucket Note
Not all service integrations with AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) and AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) are supported. See the documentation of the calling service for more information. Usage of
aws:SourceAccount

Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
You can use this condition key to prevent an AWS service from being used as a
confused deputy during transactions
between services. Use this key only in resource-based policies where the
Principal
is an AWS service principal. Set the value of this
condition key to the account ID of the resource in the request. For example, when an
Amazon S3 bucket update triggers an Amazon SNS topic publish, the Amazon S3 service invokes the
sns:Publish
API operation. In the topic policy that allows the
sns:Publish
operation, set the value of the condition key to the
account ID of the Amazon S3 bucket. For information about how and when this condition
keys is recommended, see the documentation for the AWS services you are
using.
aws:SourceOrgPaths
Use this key to compare the AWS Organizations path of the resource making a service-to-service request with the organizations path that you specify in the policy, but only when the request is made by an AWS service principal. An Organizations path is a text representation of the structure of an Organizations entity. For more information about using and understanding paths, see Understand the AWS Organizations entity path.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context only when the call to your resource is being made directly by an AWS service principal on behalf of a resource owned by an account which is a member of an organization. The calling service passes the organization path of the original resource to the called service.
The following service integrations don't support this global condition key:
Calling service (service principal) Called service (resource-based policy) Description logdelivery.elb.amazonaws.com Amazon S3 bucket Enable Elastic Load Balancing access logging in Amazon S3 bucket logdelivery.elasticloadbalancing.amazonaws.com Amazon S3 bucket Enable Elastic Load Balancing access logging in Amazon S3 bucket All service principals Amazon Lex bot Allow AWS services to use Amazon Lex bot Note
Not all service integrations with AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) and AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) are supported. See the documentation of the calling service for more information. Usage of
aws:SourceOrgPaths
in KMS key policies for keys used by AWS services via KMS key grants may result in unexpected behavior. -
Data type – String (list)
-
Value type – Multivalued
You can use this condition key to prevent an AWS service from being used as a
confused deputy during transactions
between services. Use this key only in resource-based policies where the
Principal
is an AWS service principal. Set the value of this
condition key to the organization path of the resource in the request. For example,
when an Amazon S3 bucket update triggers an Amazon SNS topic publish, the Amazon S3 service invokes
the sns:Publish

aws:SourceOrgPaths
is a multivalued condition key. Multivalued keys
can have multiple values in the request context. You must use the
ForAnyValue
or ForAllValues
set operators with string condition operators for this key. For
more information about multivalued condition keys, see Multivalued
context keys.
aws:SourceOrgID
Use this key to compare the organization
ID of the resource making a service-to-service request with the
organization ID that you specify in the policy, but only when the request is made by
an AWS service principal. When you add and remove accounts to an organization in
AWS Organizations, policies that include the aws:SourceOrgID
key automatically
include the correct accounts and you don't have to manually update the
policies.
-
Availability – This key is included in the request context only when the call to your resource is being made directly by an AWS service principal on behalf of a resource owned by an account which is a member of an organization. The calling service passes the organization ID of the original resource to the called service.
The following service integrations don't support this global condition key:

aws:UserAgent
Use this key to compare the requester's client application with the application that you specify in the policy.
-
Availability – This key is always included in the request context.
-
Data type – String
-
Value type – Single-valued
Warning
This key should be used carefully. Since the aws:UserAgent
value
is provided by the caller in an HTTP header, unauthorized parties can use
modified or custom browsers to provide any aws:UserAgent
value that
they choose. As a result, aws:UserAgent
should not be used to
prevent unauthorized parties from making direct AWS requests. You can use it
to allow only specific client applications, and only after testing your
policy.
Other cross-service condition keys
AWS STS supports SAML-based federation condition keys and cross-service condition keys for OIDC federation. These keys are available when a user who was federated using SAML performs AWS operations in other services.
