chainctl policies override create

chainctl policies override create

Create a policy override.

Synopsis

Create an override that waives a policy for one specific image.

The override flips the policy’s result to ALLOWED for the image identified by –digest — a sha256 digest written as sha256: followed by exactly 64 lowercase hex characters — under the policy named by –policy. A tag or a non-sha256 value is rejected locally before any API call. A –reason is required to record why the waiver was granted.

An override matches exactly one manifest digest. For a multi-arch image, pulls are enforced against the per-platform child manifest, not the index digest, so override the child digest that “chainctl policies check” reports as enforced; overriding the index digest alone may not unblock the pull.

Creating an override requires the policies.override.create capability, a separate capability typically held by organization owners.

chainctl policies override create --policy POLICY --digest DIGEST --reason REASON [--parent ORG] [--output=json|table] [flags]

Examples

  # Waive the no-eol policy for a specific image digest
  chainctl policies override create --policy=no-eol --parent=engineering \
  --digest=sha256:<64-hex-digest> --reason="approved exception, ticket OPS-42"

Options

      --digest string          The sha256 image digest to waive, as sha256: followed by exactly 64 lowercase hex characters (tags and other algorithms are rejected before any API call). For a multi-arch image use the per-platform child digest that "chainctl policies check" reports, not the index digest.
      --parent string          The name or id of the organization to scope the override to.
      --policy string          The name or UIDP of the policy to override.
      --reason string          The justification for the override.
      --resource-type string   Resource type used to disambiguate a policy referenced by name (shorthand: Repo, Python, Java, Javascript; or a full type). Ignored when the policy is given by UIDP.
