.. py:method:: ACMPCA.Client.create_permission(**kwargs)

  

  Grants one or more permissions on a private CA to the Certificate Manager (ACM) service principal ( ``acm.amazonaws.com``). These permissions allow ACM to issue and renew ACM certificates that reside in the same Amazon Web Services account as the CA.

   

  You can list current permissions with the `ListPermissions <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/privateca/latest/APIReference/API_ListPermissions.html>`__ action and revoke them with the `DeletePermission <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/privateca/latest/APIReference/API_DeletePermission.html>`__ action.

   

  **About Permissions**

   

  
  * If the private CA and the certificates it issues reside in the same account, you can use ``CreatePermission`` to grant permissions for ACM to carry out automatic certificate renewals.
   
  * For automatic certificate renewal to succeed, the ACM service principal needs permissions to create, retrieve, and list certificates.
   
  * If the private CA and the ACM certificates reside in different accounts, then permissions cannot be used to enable automatic renewals. Instead, the ACM certificate owner must set up a resource-based policy to enable cross-account issuance and renewals. For more information, see `Using a Resource Based Policy with Amazon Web Services Private CA <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/privateca/latest/userguide/pca-rbp.html>`__.

    )
    
  :type CertificateAuthorityArn: string
  :param CertificateAuthorityArn: **[REQUIRED]** 

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the CA that grants the permissions. You can find the ARN by calling the `ListCertificateAuthorities <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/privateca/latest/APIReference/API_ListCertificateAuthorities.html>`__ action. This must have the following form:

     

    ``arn:aws:acm-pca:region:account:certificate-authority/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012 ``.

    

  
  :type Principal: string
  :param Principal: **[REQUIRED]** 

    The Amazon Web Services service or identity that receives the permission. At this time, the only valid principal is ``acm.amazonaws.com``.

  :param SourceAccount: 

    The ID of the calling account.

    

  
  :type Actions: list
  :param Actions: **[REQUIRED]** 

    The actions that the specified Amazon Web Services service principal can use. These include ``IssueCertificate``, ``GetCertificate``, and ``ListPermissions``.
