How to add and delete security group rules in AWS via the CLI (and list them too!)

Author: erics, September 13th, 2023

Add inbound rule(s) for a security group ID:

shell> aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-id sg-NNNNNNNN --protocol tcp --port 80 --cidr '0.0.0.0/0'

1	shell> aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-id sg-NNNNNNNN --protocol tcp --port 80 --cidr '0.0.0.0/0'

## Delete inbound rule(s) for a security group ID

shell> aws ec2 revoke-security-group-ingress --group-id sg-NNNNNNNN --protocol tcp --port 80 --cidr '0.0.0.0/0'

1	shell> aws ec2 revoke-security-group-ingress --group-id sg-NNNNNNNN --protocol tcp --port 80 --cidr '0.0.0.0/0'

## List security groups by security group ID

shell> aws ec2 describe-security-groups --output json | jq -r '.SecurityGroups[]|.GroupId+" "+.GroupName'

1	shell> aws ec2 describe-security-groups --output json \| jq -r '.SecurityGroups[]\|.GroupId+" "+.GroupName'

## List inbound rules for a specific security group ID

shell> aws ec2 describe-security-groups --group-ids sg-NNNNNNNN --output json | jq -r '.SecurityGroups[].IpPermissions[]|. as $parent|(.IpRanges[].CidrIp+" "+($parent.ToPort|tostring))'

1	shell> aws ec2 describe-security-groups --group-ids sg-NNNNNNNN --output json \| jq -r '.SecurityGroups[].IpPermissions[]\|. as $parent\|(.IpRanges[].CidrIp+" "+($parent.ToPort\|tostring))'

Author: erics, April 17th, 2017

If you are missing either your “Dashboard > Updates” menu choice, or the “Add New” button or menu choice in the Plugins section, do this to correct it: Edit the wp-config.php file, and change two lines to be false instead of true: For example, here are the two lines fixed:

define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', false);
define('DISALLOW_FILE_MODS',false);

1 2	define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', false); define('DISALLOW_FILE_MODS',false);
