Public repository policy examples in Amazon ECR Public

The following examples show policy statements that you use to control the permissions that users have to your public repositories.

Note

All public repositories are visible on the Amazon ECR Public Gallery. Using a repository policy to deny access to view or pull from a public repository is not supported.

Important

Amazon ECR requires that users have permission to make calls to the ecr-public:GetAuthorizationToken and sts:GetServiceBearerToken API through an IAM policy before they can authenticate to a registry and push any images to an Amazon ECR repository.

Example: Allow an IAM user within your account

The following repository policy allows users within your account to push images.
