Request Syntax


{
   "DeleteAllPolicyResources": boolean,
   "PolicyId": "string"
}

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

DeleteAllPolicyResources

If True, the request performs cleanup according to the policy type.

For AWS WAF and Shield Advanced policies, the cleanup does the following:

Deletes rule groups created by AWS Firewall Manager
Removes web ACLs from in-scope resources
Deletes web ACLs that contain no rules or rule groups

For security group policies, the cleanup does the following for each security group in the policy:

Disassociates the security group from in-scope resources
Deletes the security group if it was created through Firewall Manager and if it's no longer associated with any resources through another policy

Note

For security group common policies, even if set to False, Firewall Manager deletes all security groups created by Firewall Manager that aren't associated with any other resources through another policy.

After the cleanup, in-scope resources are no longer protected by web ACLs in this policy. Protection of out-of-scope resources remains unchanged. Scope is determined by tags that you create and accounts that you associate with the policy. When creating the policy, if you specify that only resources in specific accounts or with specific tags are in scope of the policy, those accounts and resources are handled by the policy. All others are out of scope. If you don't specify tags or accounts, all resources are in scope.

Type: Boolean

Required: No

PolicyId

The ID of the policy that you want to delete. You can retrieve this ID from PutPolicy and ListPolicies.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Fixed length of 36.

Pattern: ^[a-z0-9A-Z-]{36}$

Required: Yes

The operation exceeds a resource limit, for example, the maximum number of policy objects that you can create for an AWS account. For more information, see Firewall Manager Limits in the AWS WAF Developer Guide.
