Special Information for SQS Policies

The following list gives information specific to the SQS implementation of access control.

  • SQS allows you to share only certain types of permissions (for more information, see Understanding Permissions)

  • Each policy must cover only a single queue (when writing a policy, don't include statements that cover different queues)

  • Each policy must have a unique policy ID (Id)

  • Each statement in a policy must have a unique statement ID (sid)

  • SQS does not implement any special keys to use when you write conditions; the only keys available are the general AWS-wide keys.

The following table lists the maximum limits for policy information.
