<p>Records a <code>WorkflowExecutionCancelRequested</code> event in the currently running workflow execution identified by the given domain, workflowId, and runId. This logically requests the cancellation of the workflow execution as a whole. It is up to the decider to take appropriate actions when it receives an execution history with this event.</p> <note> <p>If the runId isn't specified, the <code>WorkflowExecutionCancelRequested</code> event is recorded in the history of the current open workflow execution with the specified workflowId in the domain.</p> </note> <note> <p>Because this action allows the workflow to properly clean up and gracefully close, it should be used instead of <a>TerminateWorkflowExecution</a> when possible.</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>You cannot use an IAM policy to constrain this action's parameters.</p> </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>.
