AssociateResourceShare

Adds the specified list of principals and list of resources to a resource share. Principals that already have access to this resource share immediately receive access to the added resources. Newly added principals immediately receive access to the resources shared in this resource share.

Request Syntax


POST /associateresourceshare HTTP/1.1
Content-type: application/json

{
   "clientToken": "string",
   "principals": [ "string" ],
   "resourceArns": [ "string" ],
   "resourceShareArn": "string",
   "sources": [ "string" ]
}

URI Request Parameters

The request does not use any URI parameters.

Request Body

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

resourceShareArn

Specifies the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the resource share that you want to add principals or resources to.

Type: String

Required: Yes

clientToken

Specifies a unique, case-sensitive identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. This lets you safely retry the request without accidentally performing the same operation a second time. Passing the same value to a later call to an operation requires that you also pass the same value for all other parameters. We recommend that you use a UUID type of value..

If you don't provide this value, then AWS generates a random one for you.

If you retry the operation with the same ClientToken, but with different parameters, the retry fails with an IdempotentParameterMismatch error.

Type: String

Required: No

principals

Specifies a list of principals to whom you want to the resource share. This can be null if you want to add only resources.

What the principals can do with the resources in the share is determined by the AWS RAM permissions that you associate with the resource share. See AssociateResourceSharePermission.

You can include the following values:

An AWS account ID, for example: 123456789012
An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an organization in AWS Organizations, for example: arn:aws:organizations::123456789012:organization/o-exampleorgid
An ARN of an organizational unit (OU) in AWS Organizations, for example: arn:aws:organizations::123456789012:ou/o-exampleorgid/ou-examplerootid-exampleouid123
An ARN of an IAM role, for example: arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/rolename
An ARN of an IAM user, for example: arn:aws:iam::123456789012user/username
A service principal name, for example: service-id.amazonaws.com

Note

Not all resource types can be shared with IAM roles and users. For more information, see Sharing with IAM roles and users in the AWS Resource Access Manager User Guide.

Type: Array of strings

Required: No

resourceArns

Specifies a list of Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of the resources that you want to share. This can be null if you want to add only principals.

Type: Array of strings

Required: No

sources

Specifies from which source accounts the service principal has access to the resources in this resource share.

Type: Array of strings

Required: No

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

Type: String

resourceShareAssociations

An array of objects that contain information about the associations.

Type: Array of ResourceShareAssociation objects
