According to the AWS documentation for the CloudWatch Logs permissions reference [1], the IAM policy to permit or deny CloudWatch Logs actions uses the `logs:` prefix rather than `cloudwatchlogs:`. This commit updates the policy additions JSON file as well as the README to reflect this change. I confirmed this having assumed an appropriate role in an AWS account, then executing the AWS CLI command `aws logs describe-log-groups`; with the `cloudwatchlogs:` prefix an AccessDeniedException was returned to the client.
