AWS acm: Document ACME condition keys and acm:Export condition

Service: acm · 2026-09-29 · Documentation medium

File: acm/latest/userguide/acm-conditions.md · Type: iam

Summary

Added explanation that ACME-requested certificates are authorized as standard ACM actions, plus a new acm:Export condition key to restrict creation of exportable public certificates.

Security assessment

Documents IAM condition keys, including acm:Export, that let administrators restrict issuance of exportable public certificates and control ACME authorization. This is security best-practice/authorization guidance, not a fix for a specific vulnerability.

Evidence

+`acm:Export` |  [RequestCertificate](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/APIReference/API_RequestCertificate.html) |  String (`ENABLED`, `DISABLED`) |  Filter requests based on the export option in the request. Use this condition to restrict the creation of [exportable public certificates](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/userguide/acm-exportable-certificates.html).

The keys available on each action and the values ACM supplies differ from a direct API call. For those values, see [Condition keys for ACME certificate requests](./acm-conditions-acme.html).
