access-cli supports adding and editing policies in batch mode, importing data from JSON or CSV files. Batch operations on policies use the common batch mode flags.

  • JSON files should contain an array of objects, each containing the fields for each policy you wish to add or edit.

  • CSV files should be comma-separated. They must contain a header, specifying the fields and their order, followed by the records (one per line).

When editing policies, unspecified non-mandatory fields remain unchanged.

Fields

The expected fields for each format are as follows:

JSON Field Name

JSON Type

CSV Field Name

Example

Description

Mandatory

id

integer

ID

123

ID of the policy to edit.
Used only when editing

When editing

name

string

Name

Allow QA

Name of the policy

When adding

access_resource_ids

string array

AccessResourceIds

["2a70f6e3-879d-462d-a14f-c58ccf048b9a"]

Resource IDs of the policy

No

conditions

object

Unsupported

See below

No

conditions

To enable RBAC for this policy, include a conditions object as follows:

"conditions": {
"rbac": {
"enabled": true,
"group_ids": [28, 29, 30],
"user_ids": [247, 45, 46]
}
}

group_ids and user_ids can be empty arrays. If both are empty arrays, the policy will deny access to all users and groups.

Specifying RBAC settings is not supported when using the CSV format.

File Examples

Field order can be different from what is shown in the examples, and non-mandatory fields can be omitted. When using CSV, make sure to specify the correct field order in the header, and to maintain the order and number of fields consistent throughout each line.
