Resource Management:AcceptResourceShareInvitation

Last Updated:Oct 13, 2025

A principal calls the AcceptResourceShareInvitation operation to accept a sharing invitation.

Operation description

Usage notes

  • You need to accept or reject a sharing invitation only when a resource is shared from outside a resource directory. When a resource is shared within a resource directory, the system accepts the sharing invitation by default, and the principal is not required to perform any operations.

  • A sharing invitation is valid for 7 days. The principal must accept the invitation within this period.

This topic provides an example of how to accept a sharing invitation with the ID i-pMnItMX19fBJ**** in the cn-hangzhou region.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
