describe-activity-type
**********************


DESCRIPTION
===========

Returns information about the specified activity type. This includes
configuration settings provided at registration time as well as other
general information about the type.

**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.

* "activityType.name" : String constraint. The key is
  "swf:activityType.name" .

* "activityType.version" : String constraint. The key is
  "swf:activityType.version" .

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 .
