Actions Defined by AWS Directory Service
You can specify the following actions in the Action element of an IAM policy statement. By using policies, you define the permissions
for anyone performing an operation in AWS. When you use an action in a policy,
you usually allow or deny access to the API operation or CLI command with the
same name. However, in some cases, a single action controls access to more than
one operation. Alternatively, some operations require several different actions.
For details about the columns in the following table, see The Actions Table.
