I am not authorized to perform an action in Managed Service for Apache Flink
If the Amazon Web Services Management Console tells you that you're not authorized to perform an action, then you must contact your administrator for assistance. Your administrator is the person that provided you with your user name and password.
The following example error occurs when the mateojackson user tries to use the console to view
details about a fictional my-example-widgetKinesis Analytics: permissions.GetWidget
User: arn:aws-cn:iam::123456789012:user/mateojackson is not authorized to perform: Kinesis Analytics:GetWidgeton resource:my-example-widget
In this case, Mateo asks his administrator to update his policies to allow him to access the
my-example-widgetKinesis Analytics: action.GetWidget
I am not authorized to perform iam:PassRole
If you receive an error that you're not authorized to perform the iam:PassRole action, your policies must be updated to allow you to pass a role to Managed Service for Apache Flink.
Some Amazon Web Services allow you to pass an existing role to that service instead of creating a new service role or service-linked role. To do this, you must have permissions to pass the role to the service.
The following example error occurs when an IAM user named marymajor tries to use the console to perform an action in
Managed Service for Apache Flink. However, the action requires the service to have permissions that are granted by a service role. Mary does not have permissions to pass the
role to the service.
User: arn:aws-cn:iam::123456789012:user/marymajoris not authorized to perform: iam:PassRole
In this case, Mary's policies must be updated to allow her to perform the iam:PassRole action.
If you need help, contact your Amazon administrator. Your administrator is the person who provided you with your sign-in credentials.
I want to allow people outside of my Amazon account to access my Managed Service for Apache Flink resources
You can create a role that users in other accounts or people outside of your organization can use to access your resources. You can specify who is trusted to assume the role. For services that support resource-based policies or access control lists (ACLs), you can use those policies to grant people access to your resources.
