StartChildWorkflowExecutionDecisionAttributes
Provides the details of the StartChildWorkflowExecution decision.
Access Control
You can use IAM policies to control this decision's access to Amazon SWF resources as follows:
-
Use a
Resourceelement with the domain name to limit the action to only specified domains. -
Use an
Actionelement to allow or deny permission to call this action. -
Constrain the following parameters by using a
Conditionelement with the appropriate keys.-
tagList.member.N– The key is "swf:tagList.N" where N is the tag number from 0 to 4, inclusive. -
taskList– String constraint. The key isswf:taskList.name. -
workflowType.name– String constraint. The key isswf:workflowType.name. -
workflowType.version– String constraint. The key isswf:workflowType.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.
