The AuthorizeSecurityGroupIngress operation
adds permissions to a security group.
Permissions are specified by the IP protocol (TCP, UDP or
ICMP), the source of the request (by IP range or an
Amazon EC2 user-group pair), the source and destination port ranges (for
TCP and UDP), and the ICMP codes and types (for ICMP). When
authorizing ICMP, -1 can be used as a wildcard
in the type and code fields.
Permission changes are propagated to instances within the security group as quickly as possible. However, depending on the number of instances, a small delay might occur.
When authorizing a user/group pair permission, GroupName,
SourceSecurityGroupName and
SourceSecurityGroupOwnerId must be specified. When
authorizing a CIDR IP permission, GroupName, IpProtocol,
FromPort, ToPort and CidrIp must be
specified. Mixing these two types of parameters is not allowed.
