# AWS::VerifiedPermissions::PolicyStoreAlias
<a name="aws-resource-verifiedpermissions-policystorealias"></a>

Creates a policy store alias for the specified policy store. A policy store alias is an alternative identifier that you can use to reference a policy store in API operations.

This operation is idempotent. If multiple CreatePolicyStoreAlias requests are made where the `aliasName` and `policyStoreId` fields are the same between the requests, subsequent requests will be ignored. For each duplicate CreatePolicyStoreAlias request, a Success response will be returned and a new policy store alias will not be created.

**Note**  
Verified Permissions is * [eventually consistent](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Eventual_consistency) *. It can take a few seconds for a new or changed element to propagate through the service and be visible in the results of other Verified Permissions operations.
