Update Policy Template

verifiedpermissions_update_policy_template R Documentation

Updates the specified policy template

Description

Updates the specified policy template. You can update only the description and the some elements of the policyBody.

Changes you make to the policy template content are immediately (within the constraints of eventual consistency) reflected in authorization decisions that involve all template-linked policies instantiated from this template.

Verified Permissions is eventually consistent . It can take a few seconds for a new or changed element to propagate through the service and be visible in the results of other Verified Permissions operations.
