    Example Usage

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as vault from "@pulumi/vault";

const example = new vault.Policy("example", {
    name: "dev-team",
    policy: `path \\"secret/my_app\\" {
  capabilities = [\\"update\\"]
}
`,
});

    import pulumi
import pulumi_vault as vault

example = vault.Policy("example",
    name="dev-team",
    policy="""path \"secret/my_app\" {
  capabilities = [\"update\"]
}
""")

    package main

    Create Policy Resource

    Resources are created with functions called constructors. To learn more about declaring and configuring resources, see Resources.

    Constructor syntax

    new Policy(name: string, args: PolicyArgs, opts?: CustomResourceOptions);
    @overload
def Policy(resource_name: str,
           args: PolicyArgs,
           opts: Optional[ResourceOptions] = None)

    Constructor example

    The following reference example uses placeholder values for all input properties.

    var policyResource = new Vault.Policy("policyResource", new()
{
    PolicyContents = "string",
    Name = "string",
    Namespace = "string",
});

    example, err := vault.NewPolicy(ctx, "policyResource", &vault.PolicyArgs{
	Policy:    pulumi.String("string"),
	Name:      pulumi.String("string"),
	Namespace: pulumi.String("string"),
})

    resource "vault_policy" "policyResource" {
  policy    = "string"
  name      = "string"
  namespace = "string"
}

    var policyResource = new Policy("policyResource", PolicyArgs.builder()
    .policy("string")
    .name("string")
    .namespace("string")
