DynamoDB - Permissions API

The DynamoDB API offers a large set of actions that require permissions. When setting up permissions, you must set the allowed actions, the allowed resources, and the conditions for each.

You can specify actions in the Policy Action field. Specify a resource value in the Resource field of the policy. But make sure you are using the correct syntax prefixing Dynamodb:: with the API operation.

For example - Dynamodb: CreateTable

You can also use conditional keys to filter permissions.
