## Suppressing a Rule

<details>
  <summary>Example 1) Default Construct</summary>

```python
import { SecurityGroup, Vpc, Peer, Port } from '@aws-cdk/aws-ec2';
import { Construct, Stack, StackProps } from '@aws-cdk/core';
import { NagSuppressions } from 'cdk-nag';

export class CdkTestStack extends Stack {
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: StackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);
    const test = new SecurityGroup(this, 'test', {
      vpc: new Vpc(this, 'vpc'),
    });
    test.addIngressRule(Peer.anyIpv4(), Port.allTraffic());
    NagSuppressions.addResourceSuppressions(test, [
      { id: 'AwsSolutions-EC23', reason: 'lorem ipsum' },
    ]);
  }
}
```

</details><details>
  <summary>Example 2) Child Constructs</summary>

```python
import { User, PolicyStatement } from '@aws-cdk/aws-iam';
import { Construct, Stack, StackProps } from '@aws-cdk/core';
import { NagSuppressions } from 'cdk-nag';

export class CdkTestStack extends Stack {
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: StackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);
    const user = new User(this, 'rUser');
    user.addToPolicy(
      new PolicyStatement({
        actions: ['s3:PutObject'],
        resources: ['arn:aws:s3:::bucket_name/*'],
      })
    );
    // Enable adding suppressions to child constructs
    NagSuppressions.addResourceSuppressions(
      user,
      [
        {
          id: 'AwsSolutions-IAM5',
          reason: 'lorem ipsum',
          appliesTo: ['Resource::arn:aws:s3:::bucket_name/*'], // optional
        },
      ],
      true
    );
  }
}
```

</details><details>
  <summary>Example 3) Stack Level </summary>

```python
import { App, Aspects } from '@aws-cdk/core';
import { CdkTestStack } from '../lib/cdk-test-stack';
import { AwsSolutionsChecks, NagSuppressions } from 'cdk-nag';

const app = new App();
const stack = new CdkTestStack(app, 'CdkNagDemo');
Aspects.of(app).add(new AwsSolutionsChecks());
NagSuppressions.addStackSuppressions(stack, [
  { id: 'AwsSolutions-EC23', reason: 'lorem ipsum' },
]);
```

</details><details>
  <summary>Example 4) Construct path</summary>

If you received the following error on synth/deploy

```bash
[Error at /StackName/Custom::CDKBucketDeployment8675309/ServiceRole/Resource] AwsSolutions-IAM4: The IAM user, role, or group uses AWS managed policies
```

```python
import { Bucket } from '@aws-cdk/aws-s3';
import { BucketDeployment } from '@aws-cdk/aws-s3-deployment';
import { NagSuppressions } from 'cdk-nag';
import { Construct, Stack, StackProps } from '@aws-cdk/core';

export class CdkTestStack extends Stack {
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: StackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);
    new BucketDeployment(this, 'rDeployment', {
      sources: [],
      destinationBucket: Bucket.fromBucketName(this, 'rBucket', 'foo'),
    });
    NagSuppressions.addResourceSuppressionsByPath(
      this,
      '/StackName/Custom::CDKBucketDeployment8675309/ServiceRole/Resource',
      [{ id: 'AwsSolutions-IAM4', reason: 'at least 10 characters' }]
    );
  }
}
```

</details><details>
  <summary>Example 5) Granular Suppressions of findings</summary>

Certain rules support granular suppressions of `findings`. If you received the following errors on synth/deploy

```bash
[Error at /StackName/rFirstUser/DefaultPolicy/Resource] AwsSolutions-IAM5[Action::s3:*]: The IAM entity contains wildcard permissions and does not have a cdk_nag rule suppression with evidence for those permission.
[Error at /StackName/rFirstUser/DefaultPolicy/Resource] AwsSolutions-IAM5[Resource::*]: The IAM entity contains wildcard permissions and does not have a cdk_nag rule suppression with evidence for those permission.
[Error at /StackName/rSecondUser/DefaultPolicy/Resource] AwsSolutions-IAM5[Action::s3:*]: The IAM entity contains wildcard permissions and does not have a cdk_nag rule suppression with evidence for those permission.
[Error at /StackName/rSecondUser/DefaultPolicy/Resource] AwsSolutions-IAM5[Resource::*]: The IAM entity contains wildcard permissions and does not have a cdk_nag rule suppression with evidence for those permission.
```

By applying the following suppressions

```python
import { User } from '@aws-cdk/aws-iam';
import { NagSuppressions } from 'cdk-nag';
import { Construct, Stack, StackProps } from '@aws-cdk/core';

export class CdkTestStack extends Stack {
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: StackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);
    const firstUser = new User(this, 'rFirstUser');
    firstUser.addToPolicy(
      new PolicyStatement({
        actions: ['s3:*'],
        resources: ['*'],
      })
    );
    const secondUser = new User(this, 'rSecondUser');
    secondUser.addToPolicy(
      new PolicyStatement({
        actions: ['s3:*'],
        resources: ['*'],
      })
    );
    const thirdUser = new User(this, 'rSecondUser');
    thirdUser.addToPolicy(
      new PolicyStatement({
        actions: ['sqs:CreateQueue'],
        resources: [`arn:aws:sqs:${this.region}:${this.account}:*`],
      })
    );
    NagSuppressions.addResourceSuppressions(
      firstUser,
      [
        {
          id: 'AwsSolutions-IAM5',
          reason:
            "Only suppress AwsSolutions-IAM5 's3:*' finding on First User.",
          appliesTo: ['Action::s3:*'],
        },
      ],
      true
    );
    NagSuppressions.addResourceSuppressions(
      secondUser,
      [
        {
          id: 'AwsSolutions-IAM5',
          reason: 'Suppress all AwsSolutions-IAM5 findings on Second User.',
        },
      ],
      true
    );
    NagSuppressions.addResourceSuppressions(
      thirdUser,
      [
        {
          id: 'AwsSolutions-IAM5',
          reason: 'Suppress AwsSolutions-IAM5 on the SQS resource.',
          appliesTo: [
            {
              regex: '/^Resource::arn:aws:sqs:(.*):\\*$/g',
            },
          ],
        },
      ],
      true
    );
  }
}
```

You would see the following error on synth/deploy

```bash
[Error at /StackName/rFirstUser/DefaultPolicy/Resource] AwsSolutions-IAM5[Resource::*]: The IAM entity contains wildcard permissions and does not have a cdk_nag rule suppression with evidence for those permission.
```

## Rules and Property Overrides

In some cases L2 Constructs do not have a native option to remediate an issue and must be fixed via [Raw Overrides](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/latest/guide/cfn_layer.html#cfn_layer_raw). Since raw overrides take place after template synthesis these fixes are not caught by the cdk_nag. In this case you should remediate the issue and suppress the issue like in the following example.

<details>
  <summary>Example) Property Overrides</summary>

```python
import {
  Instance,
  InstanceType,
  InstanceClass,
  MachineImage,
  Vpc,
  CfnInstance,
} from '@aws-cdk/aws-ec2';
import { Construct, Stack, StackProps } from '@aws-cdk/core';
import { NagSuppressions } from 'cdk-nag';

export class CdkTestStack extends Stack {
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: StackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);
    const instance = new Instance(this, 'rInstance', {
      vpc: new Vpc(this, 'rVpc'),
      instanceType: new InstanceType(InstanceClass.T3),
      machineImage: MachineImage.latestAmazonLinux(),
    });
    const cfnIns = instance.node.defaultChild as CfnInstance;
    cfnIns.addPropertyOverride('DisableApiTermination', true);
    NagSuppressions.addResourceSuppressions(instance, [
      {
        id: 'AwsSolutions-EC29',
        reason: 'Remediated through property override.',
      },
    ]);
  }
}
```

## Using on CloudFormation templates

You can use cdk-nag on existing CloudFormation templates by using the [cloudformation-include](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/latest/guide/use_cfn_template.html#use_cfn_template_install) module.

<details>
  <summary>Example 1) CloudFormation template with suppression</summary>

Sample CloudFormation template with suppression

```json
{
  "Resources": {
    "rBucket": {
      "Type": "AWS::S3::Bucket",
      "Properties": {
        "BucketName": "some-bucket-name"
      },
      "Metadata": {
        "cdk_nag": {
          "rules_to_suppress": [
            {
              "id": "AwsSolutions-S1",
              "reason": "at least 10 characters"
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Sample App

import { CdkTestStack } from '../lib/cdk-test-stack';
import { AwsSolutionsChecks } from 'cdk-nag';

const app = new App();
new CdkTestStack(app, 'CdkNagDemo');
Aspects.of(app).add(new AwsSolutionsChecks());
```

Sample Stack with imported template

```python
import { CfnInclude } from '@aws-cdk/cloudformation-include';
import { NagSuppressions } from 'cdk-nag';
import { Construct, Stack, StackProps } from '@aws-cdk/core';

export class CdkTestStack extends Stack {
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: StackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);
    new CfnInclude(this, 'Template', {
      templateFile: 'my-template.json',
    });
    // Add any additional suppressions
    NagSuppressions.addResourceSuppressionsByPath(
      this,
      '/CdkNagDemo/Template/rBucket',
      [
        {
          id: 'AwsSolutions-S2',
          reason: 'at least 10 characters',
        },
      ]
    );
  }
}
```
