AWS AccessDeniedException elastictranscoder:CreateJob - amazon-web-services

I'm trying to use a Lambda function to trigger an Elastic Transcoder job, but I keep getting this error message:
AccessDeniedException: User: arn:aws:sts::xxx:assumed-role/xxxx/xxx is not authorized to perform: elastictranscoder:CreateJob on resource: arn:aws:elastictranscoder:xxxxx:pipeline/xxxxx
My IAM user policy covers all access requirements:

}
Why am I getting the AccessDeniedException and how can I fix it?

Change your policy to below and then try it will work
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",

You dont need to change json by editing.
First of all detect which role you want to edit ?
1-) Click Permisson http://prntscr.com/j1giww
2-) see the role name http://prntscr.com/j1gj6s
3-) go to IAM Roles
4-) select the roles that you see at step 2
5-) edit policy and add Transcoder Full Access ( Or selected access )

AWS Policy for MFA Required for console but not CLI

I am trying to figure out an AWS Policy that will make it so MFA is enforced for Console users but not for CLI users, anyone have any ideas for this?
No matter what I do I can't seem to exclude CLI users.
This is what I have been using.
I have tried changing lines 102-104 as a reverse version but when I do that I lose all access to AWS except through CLI..

The AWS Management Console makes API calls on behalf of users. Therefore, the same policy would apply to API calls as console calls.
Therefore, if you want a different set of rules to apply within the AWS Management Console, you would need to create a separate IAM User that has:
A password for login to the console
Does not have an Access Key & Secret Key (so they can't use the CLI)
Requires Multi-Factor Authentication

Couldn't read directory: Permission denied when using AWS SFTP

I am trying to set up a simple AWS SFTP server with a scoped-down policy but keep getting permission denied errors when trying to put and get.
Here is IAM Role with generic S3 bucket access:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "AllowListingOfUserFolder",
"Action": [
"s3:ListBucket",
"s3:GetBucketLocation"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::SOME-EXAMPLE-BUKCET"
]
},
{
"Sid": "HomeDirObjectAccess",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:PutObject",
"s3:GetObject",
"s3:DeleteObjectVersion",
"s3:DeleteObject",
"s3:GetObjectVersion"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::SOME-EXAMPLE-BUCKET/*"
}
]
}
And this is the scoped-down policy which I attach to the user when I create it in the SFTP panel:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "VisualEditor0",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "s3:ListBucket",
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::${transfer:HomeBucket}",
"Condition": {
"StringLike": {
"s3:prefix": [
"${transfer:UserName}/*",
"${transfer:UserName}"
]
}
}
},
{
"Sid": "VisualEditor1",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "s3:GetBucketLocation",
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::SOME-EXAMPLE-BUCKET"
},
{
"Sid": "VisualEditor2",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Sid": "VisualEditor3",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:PutObject",
"s3:GetObjectAcl",
"s3:GetObject",
"s3:DeleteObject"
],
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::${transfer:HomeDirectory}/*",
"arn:aws:s3:::${transfer:HomeDirectory}*"
]
}
]
}
The goal is for a user to log in and land in their home directory with read/write/delete permissions for just that directory. I've tried various policies from the following links but never quite get what I need:
Connecting to AWS Transfer for SFTP
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/transfer/latest/userguide/users.html
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/transfer/latest/userguide/requirements-roles.html
I always either get no access at all and everything is denied (i.e. can't even ls). Or I can ls but can't do anything else like mkdir, put, get, etc...
In the scoped-down policy, why do you use transfer:UserName in the ListBucket condition rather than transfer:HomeDirectory like in the Put/Get/DeleteObject statement? Is the HomeDirectory of the user the same as its username?
What happens when you try something like this?
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "VisualEditor0",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "s3:ListBucket",
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::${transfer:HomeBucket}",
"Condition": {
"StringLike": {
"s3:prefix": [
"${transfer:HomeDirectory}/*",
"${transfer:HomeDirectory}"
]
}
}
},
{
"Sid": "VisualEditor1",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "s3:GetBucketLocation",
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::SOME-EXAMPLE-BUCKET"
},
{
"Sid": "VisualEditor2",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Sid": "VisualEditor3",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:PutObject",
"s3:GetObjectAcl",
"s3:GetObject",
"s3:DeleteObject"
],
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::${transfer:HomeDirectory}/*",
"arn:aws:s3:::${transfer:HomeDirectory}*"
]
}
]
}
Do not use ${transfer:Username} in the scoped down policy. Also, make sure you specify it as Policy key within secrets manager.
I have documented the full setup here in case you need to reference it - https://coderise.io/sftp-on-aws-with-username-and-password/

Create AWS Access Policy to Only 1 S3 Bucket

I'm trying to create a policy that allows access to only 1 bucket for our clients' WordPress backups using BackWPUp
This is after noticing that the default S3 Full Access policy allows full access to ALL buckets!
I tried following this article here:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_examples_s3_rw-bucket-console.html
The policy looks like this (replaced the bucket name to an appropriate one) and it's not working:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "ConsoleAccess",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:GetAccountPublicAccessBlock",
"s3:GetBucketAcl",
"s3:GetBucketLocation",
"s3:GetBucketPolicyStatus",
"s3:GetBucketPublicAccessBlock",
"s3:ListAllMyBuckets"
],
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Sid": "ListObjectsInBucket",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "s3:ListBucket",
"Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name"]
},
{
"Sid": "AllObjectActions",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "s3:*Object",
"Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name/*"]
}
]
}
Receiving Error: S3 Service API: Access Denied
Then, I tried a simplified version:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "PolicyID",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:*"
],
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name/*"
]
}
]
}
Still no luck, with the same error. Any ideas? What am I missing?
Turns out I needed s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads and s3:GetBucketLocation to get it working properly.
Final version below:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:ListBucket",
"s3:GetBucketLocation",
"s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "s3:*"
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name/*"
}
]
}

aws ssm:sendcommand is not working if i restrict access to specific instances

I am using a default policy Amazonssmmaintainancewindowrole. In that policy I have modified the permissions for ssm:SendCommand to restrict the access to specific EC2 instances which is not working. If I give the resource as "*" for ssm:SendCommand, it is working fine. Please let me know what I am doing wrong with respect to restricting access.

How-to restrict AWS IAM User to be able execute "SSM Run Commands" on a specific EC2 server

I am trying to setup and assign a policy so that a user can only trigger AWS Systems Manager Services (SSM) Run Commands on only authorized or assigned EC2 instances to them.
To do this, I am following instructions from https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/sysman-configuring-access-iam-create.html and as per it, I created below custom policy with provisioning access for only 1 EC2 instance:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Action": [
"ssm:ListDocuments",
"ssm:DescribeDocument*",
"ssm:GetDocument",
"ssm:DescribeInstance*"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Action": "ssm:SendCommand",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:ec2:us-east-1:123456789012:instance/i-1234567890abcdef0",
"arn:aws:s3:::test-ssm-logs/TESTSERV",
"arn:aws:ssm:us-east-1:123456789012:document/AWS-RunPowerShellScript"
],
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"ec2:ResourceTag/Name": "TESTSERV"
}
}
},
{
"Action": [
"ssm:CancelCommand",
"ssm:ListCommands",
"ssm:ListCommandInvocations"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Action": "ec2:DescribeInstanceStatus",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": "*"
}
]
}
After I assigned above policy to a test user and when I log in using it and navigate to "Run Command", under Target Instances I see other EC2 instances as well and I am even able to execute commands to them as well. Shouldn't the user only see the 1 instance that is specified in above policy?
I do not understand what am I doing wrong here and how to fix it? Appreciate your help.
Thanks!
I have below IAM policy assigned to all my EC2 system instances:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"ssm:DescribeAssociation",
"ssm:GetDeployablePatchSnapshotForInstance",
"ssm:GetDocument",
"ssm:GetParameters",
"ssm:ListAssociations",
"ssm:ListInstanceAssociations",
"ssm:PutInventory",
"ssm:UpdateAssociationStatus",
"ssm:UpdateInstanceAssociationStatus",
"ssm:UpdateInstanceInformation"
],
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"ec2messages:AcknowledgeMessage",
"ec2messages:DeleteMessage",
"ec2messages:FailMessage",
"ec2messages:GetEndpoint",
"ec2messages:GetMessages",
"ec2messages:SendReply"
],
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"cloudwatch:PutMetricData"
],
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"ec2:DescribeInstanceStatus"
],
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"ds:CreateComputer",
"ds:DescribeDirectories"
],
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"logs:CreateLogGroup",
"logs:CreateLogStream",
"logs:DescribeLogGroups",
"logs:DescribeLogStreams",
"logs:PutLogEvents"
],
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:PutObject",
"s3:GetObject",
"s3:AbortMultipartUpload",
"s3:ListMultipartUploadParts",
"s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads"
],
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:ListBucket"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::amazon-ssm-packages-*"
}
]
}
Also, I have below IAM policy assigned to test user to so that they can Start/Stop/Restart EC2 instances:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "ec2:Describe*",
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"ec2:StartInstances",
"ec2:StopInstances",
"ec2:RebootInstances"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:ec2:us-east-1:123456789012:instance/i-1234567890abcdef0",
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"ec2:ResourceTag/Name": "TESTSERV"
}
}
}
]
}
I was able to make this work by adjusting policy as below:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Action": [
"ssm:ListDocuments",
"ssm:DescribeDocument*",
"ssm:GetDocument",
"ssm:DescribeInstance*"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Action": "ssm:SendCommand",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:ec2:us-east-1:123456789012:instance/i-1234567890abcdef0",
"arn:aws:s3:::nsight-ssm-logs/TESTSERV",
"arn:aws:ssm:us-east-1::document/AWS-RunPowerShellScript"
]
},
{
"Action": [
"ssm:CancelCommand",
"ssm:ListCommands",
"ssm:ListCommandInvocations"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Action": "ec2:DescribeInstanceStatus",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": "*"
}
]
}
My requirement was to only allow execution of PowerShell scripts so the line:
"arn:aws:ssm:us-east-1::document/AWS-RunPowerShellScript"
You can replace AWS-RunPowerShellScript with * to allow all commands.
Also, the EC2 Role assignment was necessary since without it I couldn't see any instances under Run Command.
Please also know that the user would see all instances under Run Command but will only be able to execute commands for the EC2 instances for which the policies are assigned to, user account. I do not think there is any option to suppress this.
Thanks for your contribution and helpful tips.
