Option Description
--dry-run Validate and print the API request without network access or credentials.

--file <path> JSON body file, or - to read stdin.
--name <string> Policy or rule display name (1–50 characters).
--method <string> Policy method, e.g. eth_sendTransaction, or * for all methods. Privy validates compatibility with the policy chain.
--action <string> Action when the conditions match: ALLOW or DENY.
--conditions <json> Complete condition array as JSON (replaces existing conditions). Uses the Privy policy language; nested condition semantics are validated by Privy, not fully modeled locally.
--diff Read live state and show changes WITHOUT writing (requires login).
--allow-production Explicitly allow this production mutation; also requires --yes.

Global options such as --app, --account and --profile also apply. See the command reference overview.

Terminal window

  • Changes data: yes. Preview with --dry-run, then run with --yes and any required confirmations.

  • Production apps: Requires --allow-production in addition to --yes.
  • Verification: Fresh policy read and field comparison; deletion requires verified absence.
  • Retries: None.
