      description: 'Registers a new activity type along with its configuration settings in the specified domain.


        A TypeAlreadyExists fault is returned if the type already exists in the domain. You cannot change any configuration settings of the type after its registration, and it must be registered as a new version.


        Access Control


        You can use IAM policies to control this action''s access to Amazon SWF resources as follows:


        Use a Resource element with the domain name to limit the action to only specified domains.


        Use an Action element to allow or deny permission to call this action.


        Constrain the following parameters by using a Condition element with the appropriate keys.


        defaultTaskList.name: String constraint. The key is swf:defaultTaskList.name.


        name: String constraint. The key is swf:name.


        version: String constraint. The key is swf:version.


        If the caller doesn''t have sufficient permissions to invoke the action, or the parameter values fall outside the specified constraints, the action fails. The associated event attribute''s cause parameter is set to OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED. For details and example IAM policies, see Using IAM to Manage Access to Amazon SWF Workflows in the Amazon SWF Developer Guide.'
