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 .

If the caller does not have sufficient permissions to invoke the action, or the parameter values fall outside the specified constraints, the action fails by throwing OperationNotPermitted . For details and example IAM policies, see Using IAM to Manage Access to Amazon SWF Workflows.
