<p>Registers a new <i>workflow type</i> and its configuration settings in the specified domain.</p> <p>The retention period for the workflow history is set by the <a>RegisterDomain</a> action.</p> <important> <p>If the type already exists, then a <code>TypeAlreadyExists</code> fault is returned. You cannot change the configuration settings of a workflow type once it is registered and it must be registered as a new version.</p> </important> <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>defaultTaskList.name</code>: String constraint. The key is <code>swf:defaultTaskList.name</code>.</p> </li> <li> <p> <code>name</code>: String constraint. The key is <code>swf:name</code>.</p> </li> <li> <p> <code>version</code>: String constraint. The key is <code>swf: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>.
