Create a security group
Provisions a new security group in the active scope from the security group creation form submission (entered via
the list view's "Add" / "Create security group" button). Visible inputs are the group name, an optional
description, a set of common-service ingress presets (SSH and HTTPS pre-selected; HTTP, MySQL, PostgreSQL,
RDP and DNS available), zero or more custom rule rows (direction, protocol, port, source CIDR) and cost
tags. Each selected preset is expanded server-side into a concrete ingress rule (e.g. SSH → tcp 22/22 from
0.0.0.0/0); a default allow-all egress rule is attached. On acceptance the group becomes discoverable in the
scoped list with attachedPorts: 0.
Validation: name must match ^[a-z0-9-]{1,63}$ (lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens) → 422
VALIDATION_FAILED on format violation, 409 CONFLICT on duplicate name in the project; every
commonServices entry must be a known preset label → 422; each custom rule row needs a valid protocol and,
for tcp/udp, a parsable port → 422; source must be valid CIDR notation → 422; the per-subscription
security-group quota must not be exhausted → 409 QUOTA_EXCEEDED.
Async & state: Asynchronous — returns 202 with an Operation handle. The group is created in a
provisioning state and reaches the terminal state ACTIVE; resource.updated SSE frames are emitted for the
security-group resource (rule materialization patches) plus operation.updated frames for the returned
operation.
Errors: 401 unauthenticated; 403 caller lacks contributor rights on the scope; 409 QUOTA_EXCEEDED when
the security-group quota is exhausted (duplicate name → 409 CONFLICT); 422 on any field validation failure;
500 on provisioning workflow errors.
Idempotency/Concurrency: Idempotency-Key is required; replaying the same key returns the original 202
Operation without creating a duplicate group.
bearerTokenAuthorizationBearer <token>An API token (pc_live_…) or a service-account key (sak_live_…), created in Identity & Access Management and sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>. Requests are rate limited per credential and per tenant: every response carries X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset, and a refused request gets 429 RATE_LIMITED with Retry-After.
scopeId*stringOpaque ownership+authorization scope resolving to tenant + subscription + project.
Idempotency-Key*stringRequired: this operation creates a new resource asynchronously, so a retry without the key would create a second one. Same key+body within 24h replays the original result; the same key with a different body is 409 CONFLICT. Keys are unique per tenant (the same key in two tenants is two different requests). An API token or service-account (bearer) caller MUST send it -- a request without it is refused with 400 IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REQUIRED (ErrIdempotencyKeyRequired); reuse the same key on every retry of one logical request. A console session gets one from the edge.
uuidapplication/json- body
Payload of the security group creation form submission.
name*stringGroup name; lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens, up to 63 chars (e.g. web-sg).
^[a-z0-9-]{1,63}$description?stringOptional free-text description (e.g. "Public web tier").
length <= 255commonServices?array<>Selected common-service preset labels, each expanded into a concrete ingress rule (defaults in the UI are SSH and HTTPS).
rules?array<>Custom rule rows defined inline in the create form.
tags?array<>Key-value pairs used in Cost Explorer and budgets.
items <= 50Creation accepted; the security group is provisioning. Track via the returned operation and resource.updated SSE frames.
application/json- response
A long-running operation record. GET /operations/{operationId} returns its current state.
id*stringOperation identifier, unique platform-wide.
action*stringCanonical action id that started this operation, e.g. compute.instance.create.
state*OperationStateState machine for long-running operations. PENDING and RUNNING are transitional; the rest are terminal.
"PENDING""RUNNING""SUCCEEDED""FAILED""CANCELLED"resourceKind?|Kind of the target resource (matches RealtimeEvent.kind), null for resource-less actions.
resourceId?|Identifier of the target resource; null until the resource is allocated.
resourceName?|Human-readable name of the target resource captured when the operation was opened; null when unknown or the resource has been deleted (clients fall back to resourceId).
principalId?|Subject id (user id/email or service-account id) of the actor that initiated this operation, captured at the create chokepoint; null on internal/worker paths with no request-scoped principal or for historical rows. This is the real actor the Activity feed renders.
sourceIp?|Source IP address of the request that initiated this operation; null when unavailable (internal/worker paths, historical rows).
progressPercent?|Best-effort progress; null when the action does not report progress.
0 <= value <= 100error?|nullPopulated only when state is FAILED (or CANCELLED with partial rollback notes).
warning?|nullNon-fatal degradation recorded on an operation that still SUCCEEDED - the primary action completed but something explicitly requested could not be delivered (e.g. publicIp was requested at instance create but no floating IP could be assigned). On a CANCELLED create it reports that the provider resource had already been created and was kept (live and billed until deleted; details.disposition = left_in_place). Same code+message shape as error so clients render both uniformly; null when the operation ran without degradation.
startedAt?|When the worker began executing; null while PENDING.
finishedAt?|When a terminal state was reached; null while transitional.
