Actions defined by Amazon Config
You can specify the following actions in the Action element of an IAM
policy statement. Use policies to grant permissions to perform an operation in Amazon. When
you use an action in a policy, you usually allow or deny access to the API operation or CLI
command with the same name. However, in some cases, a single action controls access to more
than one operation. Alternatively, some operations require several different actions.
