The "Deploy" stage in my CodePipeline should be having a different IAM Role (Arn: another_codepipeline_role_arn) than that of the CodePipeline (Arn: codepipeline_role_arn). Below is my terraform configuration.
resource "aws_codepipeline" "codepipeline" {
name = "test_pipeline"
role_arn = var.codepipeline_role_arn
artifact_store {
location = aws_s3_bucket.codepipeline_bucket.bucket
type = "S3"
}
...
stage {
name = "Deploy"
action {
name = "Deploy"
category = "Deploy"
owner = "AWS"
provider = "CloudFormation"
input_artifacts = ["build_output"]
version = "1"
configuration = {
ActionMode = "CREATE_UPDATE"
Capabilities = "CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND,CAPABILITY_IAM"
OutputFileName = var.codepipeline_output_filename
StackName = "test-stack"
TemplatePath = "build_output::packaged.yaml"
}
role_arn = var.another_codepipeline_role_arn
}
}
}
However on applying the changes, Terraform throws out this error:
Error: Error creating CodePipeline: InvalidStructureException: arn:aws:iam::account_id:role/codepipeline_role is not authorized to perform AssumeRole on role arn:aws:iam::account_id:role/another_codepipeline_role
It may also be noted that I have already specified codepipeline.amazonaws.com in the Service section of the AssumeRole policy document (sample below):
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": [
"codepipeline.amazonaws.com"
]
},
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
}
]
}
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

None of your codepipeline_role_arn nor another_codepipeline_role_arn allows for sts:AssumeRole action for your pipelines. Which off course results in your error that AssumeRole is not permitted.
You have to modify your codepipeline_role and add sts:AssumeRole permissions to it, so that pipeline can assume the roles you want.
