Configure a Lambda Authorizer to control access to your API with a Lambda function.

For more information and examples, see Control API access with your AWS SAM template.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) template, use the following syntax.

YAML

DisableFunctionDefaultPermissions: Boolean
FunctionArn: String
FunctionInvokeRole: String
FunctionPayloadType: String
Identity: LambdaRequestAuthorizationIdentity

Properties

DisableFunctionDefaultPermissions

Specify true to prevent AWS SAM from automatically creating an AWS::Lambda::Permissions resource to provision permissions between your AWS::Serverless::Api resource and authorizer Lambda function.

Default value: false

Type: Boolean

Required: No

AWS CloudFormation compatibility: This property is unique to AWS SAM and doesn't have an AWS CloudFormation equivalent.

FunctionArn

Specify the function ARN of the Lambda function which provides authorization for the API.

Note

AWS SAM will automatically create an AWS::Lambda::Permissions resource when FunctionArn is specified for AWS::Serverless::Api. The AWS::Lambda::Permissions resource provisions permissions between your API and authorizer Lambda function.
