Cant get Authentications with Script #16

Closed ElCativoGER closed 4 years ago

ElCativoGER commented 4 years ago

Hi Nikola.

Thank you for your kind help with routing. Now I try to get my Auth Data with yout Script. As I am just a Windows User, I am not familiar with the Bash. I use the SSM Connect Button in Instances Screen of AWS to Connect to my BBB Instance. No i copy your Script into the Bash and hit Enter. _instanceid=$(aws ec2 describe-instances --filters \ "Name=instance-state-name,Values=running" \ "Name=tag:Name,Values=BigBlueButton-Server" \ --query 'Reservations[].Instances[].InstanceId' --output text)

Now it comes up with: An error occurred (UnauthorizedOperation) when calling the DescribeInstances operation: You are not authorized to perform this operation...

Same with Default admin credentials. After starting script in my Bash it comes up with: An error occurred (AccessDeniedException) when calling the GetParameter operation...

This happen on every Script. Seems I am doing something wrong. Can anyone help?

Greeting Alex

@ElCativoGER
this is permissions problem with IAM user/role you are using. You can check which user is your local profile configured with by running aws sts get-caller-identity. For this particular example you'll need following api permissions attached to your user

(I may have missed something here)

Read here on attaching policies to your IAM users

As this issue relates to your local permissions, rather than the bbb solutions, I think issue could be closed - though leaving it open for now to update the doco for required permissions.

@ElCativoGER closing this one, as it is not solution related, but rather local permissions.
