Actions defined by AWS X-Ray
You can specify the following actions in the Action
element of an IAM policy statement. Use policies to grant permissions to perform
an operation in AWS. When you use an action in a policy, you usually allow or
deny access to the API operation or CLI command with the same name. However,
in some cases, a single action controls access to more than one operation. Alternatively,
some operations require several different actions.
The Resource types column indicates whether each action supports resource-level permissions. If
there is no value for this column, you must specify all resources ("*") in the
Resource
element of your policy statement. If the column includes a resource type, then
you can specify an ARN of that type in a statement with that action. Required
resources are indicated in the table with an asterisk (*). If you specify a resource-level
permission ARN in a statement using this action, then it must be of this type.
Some actions support multiple resource types. If the resource type is optional (not
indicated as required), then you can choose to use one but not the other.
For details about the columns in the following table, see The actions table.
Actions | Description | Access level | Resource types (*required) | Condition keys | Dependent actions |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
BatchGetTraces | Grants permission to retrieve a list of traces specified by ID. Each trace is a collection of segment documents that originates from a single request. Use GetTraceSummaries to get a list of trace IDs | List | |||
CreateGroup | Grants permission to create a group resource with a name and a filter expression | Write | |||
CreateSamplingRule | Grants permission to create a rule to control sampling behavior for instrumented applications | Write | |||
DeleteGroup | Grants permission to delete a group resource | Write | |||
DeleteSamplingRule | Grants permission to delete a sampling rule | Write | |||
GetEncryptionConfig | Grants permission to retrieve the current encryption configuration for X-Ray data | Read | |||
GetGroup | Grants permission to retrieve group resource details | Read | |||
GetGroups | Grants permission to retrieve all active group details | Read | |||
GetInsight | Grants permission to retrieve the details of a specific insight | Read | |||
GetInsightEvents | Grants permission to retrieve the events of a specific insight | Read | |||
GetInsightImpactGraph | Grants permission to retrieve the part of the service graph which is impacted for a specific insight | Read | |||
GetInsightSummaries | Grants permission to retrieve the summary of all insights for a group and time range with optional filters | Read | |||
GetSamplingRules | Grants permission to retrieve all sampling rules | Read | |||
GetSamplingStatisticSummaries | Grants permission to retrieve information about recent sampling results for all sampling rules | Read | |||
GetSamplingTargets | Grants permission to request a sampling quota for rules that the service is using to sample requests | Read | |||
GetServiceGraph | Grants permission to retrieve a document that describes services that process incoming requests, and downstream services that they call as a result | Read | |||
GetTimeSeriesServiceStatistics | Grants permission to retrieve an aggregation of service statistics defined by a specific time range bucketed into time intervals | Read | |||
GetTraceGraph | Grants permission to retrieve a service graph for one or more specific trace IDs | Read | |||
GetTraceSummaries | Grants permission to retrieve IDs and metadata for traces available for a specified time frame using an optional filter. To get the full traces, pass the trace IDs to BatchGetTraces | Read | |||
ListTagsForResource | Grants permission to list tags for an X-Ray resource | List | |||
PutEncryptionConfig | Grants permission to update the encryption configuration for X-Ray data | Permissions management | |||
PutTelemetryRecords | Grants permission to send AWS X-Ray daemon telemetry to the service | Write | |||
PutTraceSegments | Grants permission to upload segment documents to AWS X-Ray. The X-Ray SDK generates segment documents and sends them to the X-Ray daemon, which uploads them in batches | Write | |||
TagResource | Grants permission to add tags to an X-Ray resource | Tagging | |||
UntagResource | Grants permission to remove tags from an X-Ray resource | Tagging | |||

Resource types defined by AWS X-Ray
The following resource types are defined by this service and can be used in the
Resource
element of IAM permission policy statements. Each action in the Actions table identifies the resource types that can be specified with that action. A resource
type can also define which condition keys you can include in a policy. These
keys are displayed in the last column of the table. For details about the columns
in the following table, see The resource types table.
Resource types | ARN | Condition keys |
---|---|---|
group |
arn:${Partition}:xray:${Region}:${Account}:group/${GroupName}/${Id}
|
|
sampling-rule |
arn:${Partition}:xray:${Region}:${Account}:sampling-rule/${SamplingRuleName}
|
Condition keys for AWS X-Ray
AWS X-Ray defines the following condition keys that can be used in the Condition
element of an IAM policy. You can use these keys to further refine the conditions
under which the policy statement applies. For details about the columns in the
following table, see The condition keys table.
