Not able to add policies in SAM template

问题:

I am working on SAM template for publishing my Application in AWS Serverless repository. But when I try to add policies for my lambda it shows me error: Invalid Serverless Application Specification document. Number of errors found: 1. Errors: Resource with id [SyncPostDataFromSfLambda] is invalid. Only policy templates are supported in 'Policies' property.

Below is the example for my SAM template:

{
    "AWSTemplateFormatVersion": "2010-09-09",
    "Transform": "AWS::Serverless-2016-10-31",
    "Description": "Deployment",
    "Resources": {
        "SyncPostDataToSfLambda": {
            "Type": "AWS::Serverless::Function",
            "Properties": {
                "Handler": "index.handler",
                "FunctionName": "myLambdaFunction",
                "CodeUri": "s3 URL",
                "Runtime": "nodejs6.10",
                "MemorySize": 512,
                "Policies": [
                    "AmazonDynamoDBFullAccess"
                ],
                "Events": {
                    "PostResource": {
                        "Type": "Api",
                        "Properties": {
                            "RestApiId": {
                                "Ref": "API"
                            },
                            "Path": "/apipath",
                            "Method": "post"
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

As of today (2018-10-09), SAM template already supports inline policy document.

Here is an example:-

Resources:
  SomeFunction:
    Type: AWS::Serverless::Function
    Properties:
      Handler: index.handler
      Runtime: nodejs8.10
      Policies:
      - Statement:
        - Sid: SSMDescribeParametersPolicy
          Effect: Allow
          Action:
          - ssm:DescribeParameters
          Resource: '*'
        - Sid: SSMGetParameterPolicy
          Effect: Allow
          Action:
          - ssm:GetParameters
          - ssm:GetParameter
          Resource: '*'

It seems, that currently only SAM Policy Templates can be used.

AWS maintains the authoritative information/overview of SAM Policy Templates here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverlessrepo/latest/devguide/using-aws-sam.html

This document also states that, if you need further AWS Resources and/or Policy Templates, you should contact the AWS Support.

A short overview and example of how to use them can be found here: https://github.com/awslabs/serverless-application-model/blob/master/examples/2016-10-31/policy_templates/all_policy_templates.yaml

Here's the overview of currently supported SAM Policy Templates at the time of posting this answer:

• SQSPollerPolicy (provides sqs:DeleteMessage, sqs:ReceiveMessage)
• LambdaInvokePolicy (provides lambda:InvokeFunction)
• CloudWatchPutMetricPolicy (provides cloudwatch:PutMetricData)
• EC2DescribePolicy (provides ec2:DescribeRegions, ec2:DescribeInstances)
• DynamoDBCrudPolicy (provides dynamodb:GetItem, dynamodb:DeleteItem, dynamodb:PutItem, dynamodb:Scan, dynamodb:Query, dynamodb:UpdateItem, dynamodb:BatchWriteItem, dynamodb:BatchGetItem)
• DynamoDBReadPolicy (provides dynamodb:GetItem, dynamodb:Scan, dynamodb:Query, dynamodb:BatchGetItem)

• S3CrudPolicy (provides s3:GetObject, s3:ListBucket, s3:GetBucketLocation, s3:GetObjectVersion, s3:PutObject, s3:GetLifecycleConfiguration, s3:PutLifecycleConfiguration)
• AMIDescribePolicy (provides ec2:DescribeImages)
• CloudFormationDescribeStacksPolicy (provides cloudformation:DescribeStacks)
• RekognitionNoDataAccessPolicy (provides rekognition:CompareFaces, rekognition:DetectFaces, rekognition:DetectLabels, rekognition:DetectModerationLabels)
• RekognitionReadPolicy (provides rekognition:ListCollections, rekognition:ListFaces, rekognition:SearchFaces, rekognition:SearchFacesByImage)
• RekognitionWriteOnlyAccessPolicy (provides rekognition:CreateCollection, rekognition:IndexFaces)
• SQSSendMessagePolicy (provides sqs:SendMessage*)
• SNSPublishMessagePolicy (provides sns:Publish)
• VPCAccessPolicy (provides ec2:CreateNetworkInterface, ec2:DeleteNetworkInterface, ec2:DescribeNetworkInterfaces, ec2:DetachNetworkInterface)
• DynamoDBStreamReadPolicy (provides dynamodb:DescribeStream, dynamodb:GetRecords, dynamodb:GetShardIterator, dynamodb:ListStreams)
• KinesisStreamReadPolicy (provides kinesis:ListStreams, kinesis:DescribeLimits)
• SESCrudPolicy (provides ses:GetIdentityVerificationAttributes, ses:SendEmail, ses:VerifyEmailIdentity)
• SNSCrudPolicy (provides sns:ListSubscriptionsByTopic, sns:CreateTopic, sns:SetTopicAttributes, sns:Subscribe, sns:Publish)
• KinesisCrudPolicy (provides kinesis:AddTagsToStream, kinesis:CreateStream, kinesis:DecreaseStreamRetentionPeriod, kinesis:DeleteStream, kinesis:DescribeStream, kinesis:GetShardIterator, kinesis:IncreaseStreamRetentionPeriod, kinesis:ListTagsForStream, kinesis:MergeShards, kinesis:PutRecord, kinesis:PutRecords, kinesis:SplitShard, kinesis:RemoveTagsFromStream)

Almost any of those Policy Templates have to be configured. Please read the AWS documentation (links above) about how to configure these templates.
