The Amazon WorkDocs API is designed for the following use cases:
*File Migration: File migration applications are supported for users who * want to migrate their files from an on-premises or off-premises file system or * service. Users can insert files into a user directory structure, as well as * allow for basic metadata changes, such as modifications to the permissions of * files.
*Security: Support security applications are supported for users who have * additional security needs, such as antivirus or data loss prevention. The API * actions, along with CloudTrail, allow these applications to detect when * changes occur in Amazon WorkDocs. Then, the application can take the necessary * actions and replace the target file. If the target file violates the policy, the * application can also choose to email the user.
*eDiscovery/Analytics: General administrative applications are supported, * such as eDiscovery and analytics. These applications can choose to mimic or * record the actions in an Amazon WorkDocs site, along with CloudTrail, to * replicate data for eDiscovery, backup, or analytical applications.
*All Amazon WorkDocs API actions are Amazon authenticated and certificate-signed. * They not only require the use of the Amazon Web Services SDK, but also allow for the exclusive use of * IAM users and roles to help facilitate access, trust, and permission policies. By * creating a role and allowing an IAM user to access the Amazon WorkDocs site, the * IAM user gains full administrative visibility into the entire Amazon WorkDocs site (or as * set in the IAM policy). This includes, but is not limited to, the ability to modify file * permissions and upload any file to any user. This allows developers to perform the three * use cases above, as well as give users the ability to grant access on a selective basis * using the IAM model.
*The pricing for Amazon WorkDocs APIs varies depending on the API call type for these actions:
*
* READ (Get*)
*
* WRITE (Activate*, Add*, Create*, Deactivate*, Initiate*, Update*)
*
* LIST (Describe*)
*
* DELETE*, CANCEL
