Introduction

With the IBM Cloud® Identity and Access Management (IAM) Policy Management API, you can create, update, view, and delete IAM policies. An IAM policy enables a subject to access a resource. These policies are used in access decisions when you call APIs for IAM-enabled services. For more information about how access management works, see Managing access in IBM Cloud.

There are three primary values in a policy: a subject, roles, and resources.

The subject is who or what is being granted access. The subject can be an IAM ID or an access group ID. The IAM ID is the ID of the entity that you are giving access to. The value can be a user or a service ID. The access group ID is the ID of the access group. An access group contains a set of users or service IDs. Access groups are the preferred method of managing access control. For more information, see Setting up access groups.

The following table shows the example formats for the supported subject types:

Type Attribute name Attribute value
User iam_id IBMid-123456...
Service ID iam_id iam-ServiceId-12345...
Access group access_group_id AccessGroupId-12345...

The second value in a policy in the role. A role is a collection of actions that can be taken on a resource. There are platform, service, and custom roles. For more information, see IAM roles. And, the final value of the policy is the targeted resources whether it's an entire service, resource group, or specific service instance.

Two types of policies are supported: access policies and authorization policies. For more information, see Create a policy.

SDKs for Java, Node, Python, and Go are available to make it easier to programmatically access the API from your code. The client libraries that are provided by the SDKs implement best practices for using the API and reduce the amount of code that you need to write. The tab for each language includes code examples that demonstrate how to use the client libraries. For more information about using the SDKs, see the IBM Cloud SDK Common project on GitHub.

Endpoint URLs

The IAM Policy Management API uses the following public global endpoint URL. When you call the API, add the path for each method to form the complete API endpoint for your requests.

https://iam.cloud.ibm.com

If you enabled service endpoints in your account, you can send API requests over the IBM Cloud private network at the following base endpoint URLs. For more information, see Enabling VRF and service endpoints.

  • Private endpoint URL for VPC infrastructure: https://private.iam.cloud.ibm.com
  • Private endpoint URLs for classic infrastructure:
    • Dallas: https://private.us-south.iam.cloud.ibm.com
    • Washington DC: https://private.us-east.iam.cloud.ibm.com

Authentication

Authorization to the IAM Policy Management API is enforced by using an IBM Cloud IAM access token. The token is used to to determine the actions that a user or service ID has access to when they use the API.

Obtaining an IAM token for an authenticated user or service ID is described in the IAM Identity Services API documentation.

To use the API, add a valid IAM token to the HTTP Authorization request header, for example, -H 'Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>'.

When you use the SDK, configure an IAM authenticator with the IAM API key. The authenticator automatically obtains the IAM access token for the API key and includes it with each request. You can construct an authenticator in either of two ways:

  • Programmatically by constructing an IAM authenticator instance and supplying your IAM API key
  • By defining the API key in external configuration properties and then using the SDK authenticator factory to construct an IAM authenticator that uses the configured IAM API key

In this example of using external configuration properties, an IAM authenticator instance is created with the configured API key, and then the service client is constructed with this authenticator instance and the configured service URL.

For more information, see the Authentication section of the IBM Cloud SDK Common documentation.

Any access, such as IAM actions, that is required to call a method is listed per individual method. The IAM actions associated with basic tasks for working with policies, including create, update, and delete actions, are inherited by the platform roles that can be assigned for each IAM-enabled service. For more information about the required IAM actions for custom roles and how they map to the access roles, see the list of actions and roles for the role management service.

To retrieve your access token:

curl -X POST    "https://iam.cloud.ibm.com/identity/token"    --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'    --header 'Accept: application/json'    --data-urlencode 'grant_type=urn:ibm:params:oauth:grant-type:apikey'    --data-urlencode 'apikey=<API_KEY>'

Replace <API_KEY> with your IAM API key.

Setting client options through external configuration

Example environment variables, where <SERVICE_URL> is the endpoint URL and <API_KEY> is your IAM API key

export IAM_POLICY_MANAGEMENT_URL=<SERVICE_URL>
export IAM_POLICY_MANAGEMENT_AUTHTYPE=iam
export IAM_POLICY_MANAGEMENT_APIKEY=<API_KEY>

Example of constructing the service client

import {
    "github.com/IBM/platform-services-go-sdk/iampolicymanagementv1"
}
...
serviceClientOptions := &iampolicymanagementv1.IamPolicyManagementV1Options{}
serviceClient, err := iampolicymanagementv1.NewIamPolicyManagementV1UsingExternalConfig(serviceClientOptions)

Setting client options through external configuration

Example environment variables, where <SERVICE_URL> is the endpoint URL and <API_KEY> is your IAM API key

export IAM_POLICY_MANAGEMENT_URL=<SERVICE_URL>
export IAM_POLICY_MANAGEMENT_AUTHTYPE=iam
export IAM_POLICY_MANAGEMENT_APIKEY=<API_KEY>

Example of constructing the service client

import com.ibm.cloud.platform_services.iam_policy_management.v1.IamPolicyManagement;
...
IamPolicyManagement serviceClient = IamPolicyManagement.newInstance();

export IAM_POLICY_MANAGEMENT_APIKEY=<API_KEY>

Example of constructing the service client

const IamPolicyManagementV1 = require('ibm-platform-services/iam-policy-management/v1');
...
const serviceClient = IamPolicyManagementV1.newInstance({});

Setting client options through external configuration

Example environment variables, where <SERVICE_URL> is the endpoint URL and <API_KEY> is your IAM API key

export IAM_POLICY_MANAGEMENT_URL=<SERVICE_URL>
export IAM_POLICY_MANAGEMENT_AUTHTYPE=iam
export IAM_POLICY_MANAGEMENT_APIKEY=<API_KEY>

Example of constructing the service client

from ibm_platform_services import IamPolicyManagementV1
...
service_client = IamPolicyManagementV1.new_instance()

Auditing

You can monitor API activity within your account by using the IBM Cloud® Activity Tracker service. You can track when specific API methods are called by reviewing generated events in Activity Tracker.

If an event is tracked for a method, you can find it listed with the method. For more information about how to track IAM activity, see Auditing events for IAM.

Error handling

The Policy Management APIs return standard HTTP status codes to indicate the success or failure of a request. The format of the response is represented in JSON as follows:

{
    "trace": "cd4f7573121a4cf99f0079f8482b3d6b",
    "errors": [
        {
            "code": "invalid_token",
            "message": "The provided IAM token is invalid."
        }
    ],
    "status_code": 401
}

If an operation cannot be fulfilled, an appropriate 400 or 500 series HTTP response is returned from the server. The operations that are defined in the Reference section describe example errors that can be returned from a failed request. All responses from the IAM Policy Management API are in the JSON format.

Here are potential error codes that the API can return.

HTTP Error Code Description Recovery
200 Success The request was successful.
201 Created The resource was successfully created.
204 No Content The request was successful. No response body is provided.
400 Bad Request The input parameters in the request body are either incomplete or in the wrong format. Be sure to include all required parameters in your request.
401 Unauthorized You are not authorized to make this request. The token is either invalid, missing or expired. Get a new valid token and try again.
403 Forbidden The token is valid, but the subject of the token is not authorized to perform the operation. If this error persists, contact the account owner to check your permissions.
404 Not Found The requested resource can't be found.
409 Conflict The entity is already in the requested state.
415 Unsupported Media Type Request body sent was formatted by using an unsupported media type.
429 Too Many Requests Too many requests have been made within a given time window. Wait the time in seconds indicated in the Retry-After response header before calling the API again.
500 Service Unavailable IAM Policy Management Point is currently unavailable. Your request can't be processed. Wait a few minutes and try again.

Additional headers

Some additional headers might be required to make successful requests to the API. Those additional headers are:

Transaction-Id

An optional transaction ID can be passed to your request, which can be useful for tracking calls through multiple services by using one identifier. The header key must be set to Transaction-Id and the value is anything that you choose.

If no transaction ID is passed in, then a random ID is generated.

Sorting

Sorting is available on the policies listing APIs. Use a sort query parameter set to the field name you want the results sorted by. All the top level policy fields are supported.

To reverse sort, add a - prefix to the field name.

For example, for the GET /v1/policies endpoint, a query parameter of sort=last_modified_at sorts the returned policies in ascending date and time order by last_modified_at. Meanwhile a query parameter of sort=-last_modified_at returns the policies in descending date and time order by last_modified_at.

Policy data enrichment

Currently two options are available: display and include_last_permit. By including query parameter format=display, the API returns the list of all actions included in each of the policy roles.

"roles": [
            {
              "role_id": "crn:v1:bluemix:public:iam::::role:Administrator",
              "display_name": "Administrator",
              "description": "Administrators can change object metadata or visibility for private services added to the account and can restrict the visibility of a public service.",
              "actions": [
                {
                  "id": "global-search-tagging.resource.read",
                  "displayName": "Find cloud resources",
                  "description": "The ability to find the resource using Global Search and Tagging search API."
                },
                {
                  "id": "iam.policy.read",
                  "displayName": "IAM Policy Read",
                  "description": "The ability to see policies."
                },
                {
                  "id": "iam.policy.create",
                  "displayName": "IAM Policy Create",
                  "description": "The ability to create policies."
                }
              ]
            }
          ],

Including the query parameter format=include_last_permit returns details of when the policy last granted a permit decision and the number of times it has done so.

{
   "id": "03b5696c-6844-430f-a3b1-8f2d0de53218",
   "type": "access",
   "subjects": ...,
   "roles": ...,
   "resources": ...,
   "last_permit_at": "2020-10-16T22:17:40.832Z",
   "last_permit_frequency": 18
},

This data is provided for informational purposes only. The last permit data only include records begining from end of October 2020.

Rate limiting

A response with status 429 Too Many Requests is returned if too many requests are made within a time window. The response includes a Retry-After header to indicate the time in seconds to wait before sending the next request.

When you work with the Policy Management API, it might be helpful to be aware of other IAM services. See Identity Services to learn about API key, service ID, and token creation. See Access groups to create groups and manage memberships.

Methods

Get policies by attributes

Get policies and filter by attributes. While managing policies, you might want to retrieve policies in the account and filter by attribute values. This can be done through query parameters. The following attributes are supported: account_id, iam_id, access_group_id, type, service_type, sort, format and state. account_id is a required query parameter. Only policies that have the specified attributes and that the caller has read access to are returned. If the caller does not have read access to any policies an empty array is returned.

Create a policy

Creates a policy to grant access between a subject and a resource. There are two types of policies: access and authorization. A policy administrator might want to create an access policy which grants access to a user, service-id, or an access group. They might also want to create an authorization policy and setup access between services.

Access

To create an access policy, use "type": "access" in the body. The possible subject attributes are iam_id and access_group_id. Use the iam_id subject attribute for assigning access for a user or service-id. Use the access_group_id subject attribute for assigning access for an access group. Assign roles that are supported by the service or platform roles. For more information, see IAM roles and actions. Use only the resource attributes supported by the service. To view a service's or the platform's supported attributes, check the documentation. The policy resource must include either the serviceType, serviceName, resourceGroupId or service_group_id attribute and the accountId attribute. The IAM Services group (IAM) is a subset of account management services that includes the IAM platform services IAM Identity, IAM Access Management, IAM Users Management, IAM Groups, and future IAM services. If the subject is a locked service-id, the request will fail.

Authorization

Authorization policies are supported by services on a case by case basis. Refer to service documentation to verify their support of authorization policies. To create an authorization policy, use "type": "authorization" in the body. The subject attributes must match the supported authorization subjects of the resource. Multiple subject attributes might be provided. The following attributes are supported: serviceName, serviceInstance, region, resourceType, resource, accountId Assign roles that are supported by the service or platform roles. For more information, see IAM roles and actions. The user must also have the same level of access or greater to the target resource in order to grant the role. Use only the resource attributes supported by the service. To view a service's or the platform's supported attributes, check the documentation. Both the policy subject and the policy resource must include the serviceName and accountId attributes.

Attribute Operators

Currently, only the stringEquals and the stringMatch operators are available. Resource attributes may support one or both operators. For more information, see Assigning access by using wildcard policies.

Attribute Validations

Policy attribute values must be between 1 and 1,000 characters in length. If location related attributes like geography, country, metro, region, satellite, and locationvalues are supported by the service, they are validated against Global Catalog locations.

Update a policy

Update a policy to grant access between a subject and a resource. A policy administrator might want to update an existing policy. The policy type cannot be changed (You cannot change an access policy to an authorization policy).

Access

To update an access policy, use "type": "access" in the body. The possible subject attributes are iam_id and access_group_id. Use the iam_id subject attribute for assigning access for a user or service-id. Use the access_group_id subject attribute for assigning access for an access group. Assign roles that are supported by the service or platform roles. For more information, see IAM roles and actions. Use only the resource attributes supported by the service. To view a service's or the platform's supported attributes, check the documentation. The policy resource must include either the serviceType, serviceName, or resourceGroupId attribute and the accountId attribute.` If the subject is a locked service-id, the request will fail.

Authorization

To update an authorization policy, use "type": "authorization" in the body. The subject attributes must match the supported authorization subjects of the resource. Multiple subject attributes might be provided. The following attributes are supported: serviceName, serviceInstance, region, resourceType, resource, accountId Assign roles that are supported by the service or platform roles. For more information, see IAM roles and actions. The user must also have the same level of access or greater to the target resource in order to grant the role. Use only the resource attributes supported by the service. To view a service's or the platform's supported attributes, check the documentation. Both the policy subject and the policy resource must include the serviceName and accountId attributes.

Attribute Operators

Currently, only the stringEquals and the stringMatch operators are available. Resource attributes might support one or both operators. For more information, see Assigning access by using wildcard policies.

Attribute Validations

Policy attribute values must be between 1 and 1,000 characters in length. If location related attributes like geography, country, metro, region, satellite, and locationvalues are supported by the service, they are validated against Global Catalog locations.

Get roles by filters

Get roles based on the filters. While managing roles, you may want to retrieve roles and filter by usages. This can be done through query parameters. Currently, we only support the following attributes: account_id, service_name, service_group_id, source_service_name and policy_type. Both service_name and service_group_id attributes are mutually exclusive. Only roles that match the filter and that the caller has read access to are returned. If the caller does not have read access to any roles an empty array is returned.
