/**
* An access control policy action identifies a specific action in a service
* that can be performed on a resource. For example, sending a message to a
* queue.
*
* Actions allow you to limit what your access control policy statement affects.
* For example, you could create a policy statement that enables a certain group
* of users to send messages to your queue, but not allow them to perform any
* other actions on your queue.
*
* The action is B in the statement
* "A has permission to do B to C where D applies."
*
* Free form access control policy actions may include a wildcard (*) to match
* multiple actions.
*
* This class is not intended to be directly implemented, instead developers
* should see the classes available in com.amazonaws.auth.policy.actions for
* more information on the available actions for each service.
