Starts an execution of the workflow type in the specified domain using the provided
workflowId and input data.
This action returns the newly started workflow execution.
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.
tagList.member.0: The key is swf:tagList.member.0.
tagList.member.1: The key is swf:tagList.member.1.
tagList.member.2: The key is swf:tagList.member.2.
tagList.member.3: The key is swf:tagList.member.3.
tagList.member.4: The key is swf:tagList.member.4.
taskList: String constraint. The key is
swf:taskList.name.
workflowType.name: String constraint. The key is
swf:workflowType.name.
workflowType.version: String constraint. The key is
swf: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.
