Update an Access Policy

update access policies

Use Wayfinder's User Interface or CLI to update/edit the details of a specific access policy.

When you edit a policy, it is updated for anyone who assumes the associated role(s) after your edits. But current live sessions using the role(s) are not affected.


CLI Commands

Global Access Policies

FORMAT

wf get globalaccesspolicies POLICY -o yaml > FILE.yaml

Use the -o yaml > FILE.yaml flag to output the YAML to file.

Update the yaml policy as needed and apply the update file using wf apply -f FILE.yaml

Ensure that you do not change the metadata name, otherwise you'll create a new policy.


Workspace Access Policies

FORMAT

wf get accesspolicies POLICY -w WORKSPACE -o yaml > FILE.yaml

Use the:

  • -w WORKSPACE flag to indicate the workspace.
  • -o yaml > FILE.yaml flag to output the YAML to file.

Update the yaml policy as needed and apply the update file using wf apply -f FILE.yaml

Ensure that you do not change the metadata name, otherwise you'll create a new policy.
