VM::EC2::SecurityGroup::GroupPermission - Object describing an authorized group within a security group
Contents
Description
This object describes a security group whose instances are granted permission to exchange data traffic
with another group of instances. It is returned by the groups() method of
VM::EC2::SecurityGroup::ipPermission.
Note that this object is not the same as a bona fide VM::EC2::SecurityGroup, which has access to the
group's firewall rules. This object contains just the name, id and owner of a group used within a
firewall rule. For groups that belong to you, you can get the full VM::EC2::SecurityGroup object by
calling the security_group() method. These details are not available to groups that belong to other
accounts.
Methods
$id=$group->groupId
Return the group's unique ID.
$id=$group->userId
Return the account ID of the owner of this group.
$id=$group->groupName
Return this group's name.
$string=$group->short_name
Return a string for use in string overloading. See "STRING OVERLOADING".
$sg=$group->security_group
For groups that belong to the current account, calls VM::EC2->describe_security_groups() to turn the
group name into a VM::EC2::SecurityGroup. For groups that belong to a different account, will return
undef, since describe_security_groups() on other accounts is not allowed by Amazon.

String Overloading
When used in a string context, this object will interpolate the user id and group name in the form
"userId/groupName" for groups that belong to other accounts, and the groupName alone in the case of
groups that belong to you.
