Today, AWS announces support for policy store aliases and named policies and policy templates in Amazon Verified Permissions, simplifying multi-tenant deployments and day-to-day policy management. Amazon Verified Permissions is a fine-grained authorization service that helps you manage and enforce permissions across your applications using Cedar policies. These new capabilities eliminate the need to maintain separate mapping tables for associating tenant identifiers with policy store IDs or tracking individual policy and template IDs.

With policy store aliases, multi-tenant application developers can assign a human-readable alias based on a tenant identifier and use it in any API call, removing the need for a lookup table. Similarly, named policies and policy templates let you reference policies by meaningful names instead of system-generated IDs, making it easier to manage authorization logic as your application grows.

Amazon Verified Permissions policy store aliases and named policies and templates are available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Verified Permissions is available. For a full list of supported Regions, see Amazon Verified Permissions endpoints and quotas.

To get started, see Policy store aliases and Creating static policies in the Amazon Verified Permissions User Guide, or visit the Amazon Verified Permissions API Reference.
