<p>Deprecates the specified <i>activity type</i>. After an activity type has been deprecated, you cannot create new tasks of that activity type. Tasks of this type that were scheduled before the type was deprecated continue to run.</p> <note> <p>This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not exactly reflect recent updates and changes.</p> </note> <p> <b>Access Control</b> </p> <p>You can use IAM policies to control this action's access to Amazon SWF resources as follows:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Use a <code>Resource</code> element with the domain name to limit the action to only specified domains.</p> </li> <li> <p>Use an <code>Action</code> element to allow or deny permission to call this action.</p> </li> <li> <p>Constrain the following parameters by using a <code>Condition</code> element with the appropriate keys.</p> <ul> <li> <p> <code>activityType.name</code>: String constraint. The key is <code>swf:activityType.name</code>.</p> </li> <li> <p> <code>activityType.version</code>: String constraint. The key is <code>swf:activityType.version</code>.</p> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>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 <code>cause</code> parameter is set to <code>OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED</code>.
