Amazon Verified Permissions L2 CDK Construct
This repo contains the implementation of an L2 CDK Construct for Amazon Verified Permissions
Project Stability
This construct is still versioned with alpha/v0 major version and we could introduce breaking changes even without a major version bump. Our goal is to keep the API stable & backwards compatible as much as possible but we currently cannot guarantee that. Once we'll publish v1.0.0 the breaking changes will be introduced via major version bumps.
Getting Started
Policy Store
Define a Policy Store with defaults (No description, No schema & Validation Settings Mode set to OFF):
const test = new PolicyStore(scope, "PolicyStore");
Define a Policy Store without Schema definition (Validation Settings Mode must be set to OFF):
const validationSettingsOff = {
mode: ValidationSettingsMode.OFF,
};
const test = new PolicyStore(scope, "PolicyStore", {
validationSettings: validationSettingsOff,
});
Define a Policy Store with Description and Schema definition (a STRICT Validation Settings Mode is strongly suggested for Policy Stores with schemas):
const validationSettingsStrict = {
mode: ValidationSettingsMode.STRICT,
};
const cedarJsonSchema = {
PhotoApp: {
entityTypes: {
User: {},
Photo: {},
},
actions: {
viewPhoto: {
appliesTo: {
principalTypes: ["User"],
resourceTypes: ["Photo"],
},
},
},
},
};
const cedarSchema = {
cedarJson: JSON.stringify(cedarJsonSchema),
};
const policyStore = new PolicyStore(scope, "PolicyStore", {
schema: cedarSchema,
validationSettings: validationSettingsStrict,
description: "PolicyStore description"
});
Schemas
If you want to have type safety when defining a schema, you can accomplish this only in typescript. Simply use the Schema
type exported by the @cedar-policy/cedar-wasm
.
You can also generate simple schemas using the static functions schemaFromOpenApiSpec
or schemaFromRestApi
in the PolicyStore construct. This functionality replicates what you can find in the AWS Verified Permissions console.
Generate a schema from an OpenAPI spec:
const validationSettingsStrict = {
mode: ValidationSettingsMode.STRICT,
};
const cedarJsonSchema = PolicyStore.schemaFromOpenApiSpec(
'path/to/swaggerfile.json',
'UserGroup',
);
const cedarSchema = {
cedarJson: JSON.stringify(cedarJsonSchema),
};
const policyStore = new PolicyStore(scope, "PolicyStore", {
schema: cedarSchema,
validationSettings: validationSettingsStrict,
description: "Policy store with schema generated from API Gateway",
});
Generate a schema from a RestApi construct:
const validationSettingsStrict = {
mode: ValidationSettingsMode.STRICT,
};
const cedarJsonSchema = PolicyStore.schemaFromRestApi(
new RestApi(scope, "RestApi"),
"UserGroup",
);
const cedarSchema = {
cedarJson: JSON.stringify(cedarJsonSchema),
};
const policyStore = new PolicyStore(scope, "PolicyStore", {
schema: cedarSchema,
validationSettings: validationSettingsStrict,
description: "Policy store with schema generated from RestApi construct",
});
Identity Source
Define Identity Source with Cognito Configuration and required properties:
const userPool = new UserPool(scope, "UserPool"); // Creating a new Cognito UserPool
const validationSettingsStrict = {
mode: ValidationSettingsMode.STRICT,
};
const cedarJsonSchema = {
PhotoApp: {
entityTypes: {
User: {},
Photo: {},
},
actions: {
viewPhoto: {
appliesTo: {
principalTypes: ["User"],
resourceTypes: ["Photo"],
},
},
},
},
};
const cedarSchema = {
cedarJson: JSON.stringify(cedarJsonSchema),
};
const policyStore = new PolicyStore(scope, "PolicyStore", {
schema: cedarSchema,
validationSettings: validationSettingsStrict,
});
new IdentitySource(scope, "IdentitySource", {
configuration: {
cognitoUserPoolConfiguration: {
userPool: userPool,
},
},
policyStore: policyStore
});
Define Identity Source with Cognito Configuration and all properties:
const validationSettingsStrict = {
mode: ValidationSettingsMode.STRICT,
};
const cedarJsonSchema = {
PhotoApp: {
entityTypes: {
User: {},
Photo: {},
},
actions: {
viewPhoto: {
appliesTo: {
principalTypes: ["User"],
resourceTypes: ["Photo"],
},
},
},
},
};
const cedarSchema = {
cedarJson: JSON.stringify(cedarJsonSchema),
};
const policyStore = new PolicyStore(scope, "PolicyStore", {
schema: cedarSchema,
validationSettings: validationSettingsStrict,
});
const cognitoGroupEntityType = 'test';
const userPool = new UserPool(scope, "UserPool"); // Creating a new Cognito UserPool
new IdentitySource(scope, "IdentitySource", {
configuration: {
cognitoUserPoolConfiguration: {
clientIds: ["&ExampleCogClientId;"],
userPool: userPool,
groupConfiguration: {
groupEntityType: cognitoGroupEntityType,
},
},
},
policyStore: policyStore,
principalEntityType: "PETEXAMPLEabcdefg111111",
});
Define Identity Source with OIDC Configuration and Access Token selection config:
const validationSettingsStrict = {
mode: ValidationSettingsMode.STRICT,
};
const cedarJsonSchema = {
PhotoApp: {
entityTypes: {
User: {},
Photo: {},
},
actions: {
viewPhoto: {
appliesTo: {
principalTypes: ["User"],
resourceTypes: ["Photo"],
},
},
},
},
};
const cedarSchema = {
cedarJson: JSON.stringify(cedarJsonSchema),
};
const policyStore = new PolicyStore(scope, "PolicyStore", {
schema: cedarSchema,
validationSettings: validationSettingsStrict,
});
const issuer = 'https://iamanidp.com';
const principalIdClaim = 'sub';
const entityIdPrefix = 'prefix';
const groupClaim = 'group';
const groupEntityType = 'GroupType';
new IdentitySource(scope, 'IdentitySource', {
configuration: {
openIdConnectConfiguration: {
issuer: issuer,
entityIdPrefix: entityIdPrefix,
groupConfiguration: {
groupClaim: groupClaim,
groupEntityType: groupEntityType,
},
accessTokenOnly: {
audiences: ['testAudience'],
principalIdClaim: principalIdClaim,
},
},
},
policyStore: policyStore,
principalEntityType: 'TestType',
});
Define Identity Source with OIDC Configuration and Identity Token selection config:
const validationSettingsStrict = {
mode: ValidationSettingsMode.STRICT,
};
const cedarJsonSchema = {
PhotoApp: {
entityTypes: {
User: {},
Photo: {},
},
actions: {
viewPhoto: {
appliesTo: {
principalTypes: ["User"],
resourceTypes: ["Photo"],
},
},
},
},
};
const cedarSchema = {
cedarJson: JSON.stringify(cedarJsonSchema),
};
const policyStore = new PolicyStore(scope, "PolicyStore", {
schema: cedarSchema,
validationSettings: validationSettingsStrict,
});
const issuer = 'https://iamanidp.com';
const entityIdPrefix = 'prefix';
const groupClaim = 'group';
const groupEntityType = 'UserGroup';
const principalIdClaim = 'sub';
new IdentitySource(scope, 'IdentitySource', {
configuration: {
openIdConnectConfiguration: {
issuer: issuer,
entityIdPrefix: entityIdPrefix,
groupConfiguration: {
groupClaim: groupClaim,
groupEntityType: groupEntityType,
},
identityTokenOnly: {
clientIds: [],
principalIdClaim: principalIdClaim,
},
},
},
policyStore: policyStore,
});
Policy
Load all the .cedar
files in a given folder and define Policy objects for each of them. All policies will be associated with the same policy store.
const validationSettingsStrict = {
mode: ValidationSettingsMode.STRICT,
};
const policyStore = new PolicyStore(scope, "PolicyStore", {
validationSettings: validationSettingsStrict,
});
policyStore.addPoliciesFromPath('/path/to/my-policies');
Define a Policy and add it to a specific Policy Store:
const statement = `permit(
principal,
action in [MyFirstApp::Action::"Read"],
resource
) when {
true
};`;
const description = "Test policy assigned to the test store";
const validationSettingsOff = {
mode: ValidationSettingsMode.OFF,
};
const policyStore = new PolicyStore(scope, "PolicyStore", {
validationSettings: validationSettingsOff,
});
// Create a policy and add it to the policy store
const policy = new Policy(scope, "MyTestPolicy", {
definition: {
static: {
statement,
description,
},
},
policyStore: policyStore,
});
Define a policy with a template linked definition:
const validationSettingsOff = {
mode: ValidationSettingsMode.OFF,
};
const policyStore = new PolicyStore(scope, "PolicyStore", {
validationSettings: validationSettingsOff,
});
const policyTemplateStatement = `
permit (
principal == ?principal,
action in [TinyTodo::Action::"ReadList", TinyTodo::Action::"ListTasks"],
resource == ?resource
);`;
const template = new PolicyTemplate(scope, "PolicyTemplate", {
statement: policyTemplateStatement,
policyStore: policyStore,
});
const policy = new Policy(scope, "MyTestPolicy", {
definition: {
templateLinked: {
policyTemplate: template,
principal: {
entityId: "exampleId",
entityType: "exampleType",
},
resource: {
entityId: "exampleId",
entityType: "exampleType",
},
},
},
policyStore: policyStore,
});
Define a Policy with a statement from file:
PLEASE NOTE: You can specify the description of the policy directly inside the Policy file, using the annotation @cdkDescription
const description = "Test policy assigned to the test store";
const validationSettingsOff = {
mode: ValidationSettingsMode.OFF,
};
const policyStore = new PolicyStore(scope, "PolicyStore", {
validationSettings: validationSettingsOff,
});
// Create a policy and add it to the policy store
const policyFromFileProps = {
policyStore,
path: '/path/to/policy-statement.cedar',
description: 'the policy description',
};
const policy = Policy.fromFile(scope, "MyTestPolicy", policyFromFileProps);
Policy Template
Define a Policy Template referring to a Cedar Statement in local file:
const validationSettingsOff = {
mode: ValidationSettingsMode.OFF,
};
const policyStore = new PolicyStore(scope, "PolicyStore", {
validationSettings: validationSettingsOff,
});
const templateFromFileProps = {
policyStore,
path: '/path/to/template-statement.cedar',
description: "Allows sharing photos in full access mode",
};
const template = PolicyTemplate.fromFile(scope, "PolicyTemplate", templateFromFileProps);
