Exceptions

Examples

The following example shows how to create a service control policy (SCP) that is named AllowAllS3Actions. The JSON string in the content parameter specifies the content in the policy. The parameter string is escaped with backslashes to ensure that the embedded double quotes in the JSON policy are treated as literals in the parameter, which itself is surrounded by double quotes:

response = client.create_policy(
    Content='{\"Version\":\"2012-10-17\",\"Statement\":{\"Effect\":\"Allow\",\"Action\":\"s3:*\"}}',
    Description='Enables admins of attached accounts to delegate all S3 permissions',
    Name='AllowAllS3Actions',
    Type='SERVICE_CONTROL_POLICY',
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'Policy': {
        'Content': '{"Version":"2012-10-17","Statement":{"Effect":"Allow","Action":"s3:*"}}',
        'PolicySummary': {
            'Arn': 'arn:aws:organizations::111111111111:policy/o-exampleorgid/service_control_policy/p-examplepolicyid111',
            'Description': 'Allows delegation of all S3 actions',
            'Name': 'AllowAllS3Actions',
            'Type': 'SERVICE_CONTROL_POLICY',
        },
    },
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
