Verified Access default context

AWS Verified Access includes some elements about the current HTTP request by default in all Cedar evaluations regardless of your configured trust providers. When a policy is evaluated, Verified Access includes data about the current HTTP request in the Cedar context under the context.http_request key. You can write a policy that evaluates against the data if you choose. The following JSON schema shows which data is included in the evaluation.

{
     "title": "HTTP Request data included by Verified Access",
     "type": "object",
     "properties": {
         "user_agent": {
             "type": "string",
             "description": "The value of the User-Agent request header"
         },
         "x_forwarded_for": {
             "type": "string",
             "description": "The value of the X-Forwarded-For request header"
         },
         "http_method": {
             "type": "string",
             "description": "The HTTP Method provided (e.g. GET or POST)"
         },
         "hostname": {
             "type": "string",
             "description": "The value of the Host request header"
         },
     }
 }

The following is an example of a policy that evaluates against the HTTP request data.

forbid(principal, action, resource) when {
   context.http_request.http_method == "POST"
   && !(context.identity.roles.contains("Administrator"))
 };
