AccessDeniedException : An error occurred when calling the RegisterTaskDefinition operation

Question

I am registering one JSON file, with configuring ecs

aws ecs register-task-definition --cli-input-json file://task-definition.json --region us-west-2 It throws error

Unable to locate credentials. You can configure credentials by running "aws configure"

Then I perform aws configure& configure access, secret and region with default output format. like

AWS Access Key ID [****************WBCK]: 
AWS Secret Access Key [****************wrt1]: 
Default region name [us-west-2]: 
Default output format [None]: text
ubuntu@ip-172-31-27-83:~/SampleDocker$ aws ecs register-task-definition --cli-input-json file://task-definition.json --region us-west-2

Still, I am occurring below error - 

An error occurred (AccessDeniedException) when calling the RegisterTaskDefinition operation: User: arn:aws:iam::581143930612:user/Nike is not authorized to perform: ecs:RegisterTaskDefinition on resource: *

What are the missing roles? Any suggestions
