Overview

This topic explains how to use actions in custom roles policies. It includes tables with all supported actions and details about them. These actions are scoped by resource type.

Actions represent changes you can make to resources, such as createFlag, deleteFlag, updateName, and more.

To learn more about how actions work within custom role policies, read Custom role concepts.

Recently added actions

When new features are added to LaunchDarkly, there may be new associated actions. We recommend reviewing these actions periodically to determine if they should be added to any of your custom roles.

This table describes new actions that have been added to LaunchDarkly recently:

ResourceNew actionsLearn moreDate introduced
updateSamlDecryptionEnabledAccount actionsMarch 2024
updateSamlX509KeystoreIdAccount actionsMarch 2024
envupdateCriticalEnvironment actionsFebruary 2024
domain-verification/*createDomainVerification, deleteDomainVerification, updateDomainVerificationDomain verificationFebruary 2024
proj/*:release-pipeline/*UpdateDefaultReleasePipelineKeyRelease pipelines actionsFebruary 2024
proj/*:metric/*updateUnitAggregationType, updateEventDefaultMetric actionsJanuary 2024

Actions reference

These are all the actions you can take, sorted by each resource type.

You can specify actions in bulk using glob syntax and wildcards. For example, you can describe all modifications to feature flags with the action specifier update*.
