Creates an attestor, and returns a copy of the new attestor. Returns NOT_FOUND if the project does not exist, INVALID_ARGUMENT if the request is malformed, ALREADY_EXISTS if the attestor already exists.

Scopes

You will need authorization for the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform scope to make a valid call.

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform. You can set the scope for this method like this: binaryauthorization1-beta1 --scope <scope> projects attestors-create ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <parent> (string)
    • Required. The parent of this attestor.

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

Attestor:
  description: string
  etag: string
  name: string
  update-time: string
  user-owned-drydock-note:
    delegation-service-account-email: string
    note-reference: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r . description=et
    • Optional. A descriptive comment. This field may be updated. The field may be displayed in chooser dialogs.
  • etag=magna
    • Optional. Used to prevent updating the attestor when another request has updated it since it was retrieved.
  • name=no
    • Required. The resource name, in the format: projects/*/attestors/*. This field may not be updated.
  • update-time=ipsum
    • Output only. Time when the attestor was last updated.
  • user-owned-drydock-note delegation-service-account-email=voluptua.
    • Output only. This field will contain the service account email address that this Attestor will use as the principal when querying Container Analysis. Attestor administrators must grant this service account the IAM role needed to read attestations from the note_reference in Container Analysis (containeranalysis.notes.occurrences.viewer). This email address is fixed for the lifetime of the Attestor, but callers should not make any other assumptions about the service account email; future versions may use an email based on a different naming pattern.
  • note-reference=at
    • Required. The Drydock resource name of a ATTESTATION_AUTHORITY Note, created by the user, in the format: projects/*/notes/* (or the legacy providers/*/notes/*). This field may not be updated. An attestation by this attestor is stored as a Drydock ATTESTATION_AUTHORITY Occurrence that names a container image and that links to this Note. Drydock is an external dependency.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.

Optional Method Properties

You may set the following properties to further configure the call. Please note that -p is followed by one or more key-value-pairs, and is called like this -p k1=v1 k2=v2 even though the listing below repeats the -p for completeness.

  • -p attestor-id=string
    • Required. The attestors ID.

Optional General Properties

The following properties can configure any call, and are not specific to this method.

  • -p $-xgafv=string

    • V1 error format.

  • -p access-token=string

    • OAuth access token.

  • -p alt=string

    • Data format for response.

  • -p callback=string

    • JSONP

  • -p fields=string

    • Selector specifying which fields to include in a partial response.

  • -p key=string

    • API key. Your API key identifies your project and provides you with API access, quota, and reports. Required unless you provide an OAuth 2.0 token.

  • -p oauth-token=string

    • OAuth 2.0 token for the current user.

  • -p pretty-print=boolean

    • Returns response with indentations and line breaks.

  • -p quota-user=string

    • Available to use for quota purposes for server-side applications. Can be any arbitrary string assigned to a user, but should not exceed 40 characters.

  • -p upload-type=string

    • Legacy upload protocol for media (e.g. "media", "multipart").

  • -p upload-protocol=string

    • Upload protocol for media (e.g. "raw", "multipart").
