Build RAM policies with statements, actions, resources, conditions, and effect rules for Alibaba Cloud IAM.
Last verified: May 2026
Output will appear here...Alibaba Cloud RAM (Resource Access Management) is the IAM equivalent, users, roles, groups, and policies that govern who can do what to which resource. The Alibaba RAM Policy Builder generates policy documents with Statement, Effect, Action, Resource, and Condition blocks, validated against RAM's published action namespaces and condition keys. Output is JSON ready for the Alibaba Cloud console or for Terraform `alicloud_ram_policy`.
Your team's RAM policies have accumulated over two years of ad-hoc edits, some users have admin-level permissions they no longer need. You generate replacement policies from scratch through the builder, one per role (Developer, DBA, NetworkAdmin, Auditor), each scoped to the resources that role actually touches. After cutover, no user has more permissions than their role requires, and the next audit finds zero policy-level findings.
Avoid `Action: *` and `Resource: *` together in production policies, that's the RAM equivalent of an AWS admin policy. Specific actions on specific resources is the entire point of RAM.
Use policy variables like `${acs:CurrentUser}` to write one policy that scopes each user to their own resources, rather than maintaining N copies of similar policies.
The builder collects policy name, version, and a list of statements. Each statement has Effect (Allow/Deny), Action (one or more service:Action strings), Resource (ARN-like identifiers or `*`), and optional Condition blocks. The builder validates actions against RAM's published namespaces and emits valid JSON.
