AWS CodeDeploy is not authorized to perform: codedeploy:CreateDeployment

Question

I'm trying to do CI/CD with aws CodeDeployand and GitHub Actions from , following this tutorial.

but the following error appears when trying to create the deploy:

An error occurred (AccessDeniedException) when calling the CreateDeployment operation: User: arn:aws:iam::***:user/church-managment-bff-s3 is not authorized to perform: codedeploy:CreateDeployment on resource: arn:aws:codedeploy:sa-east-1:***:deploymentgroup:church-managment-bff/church-managment-bff-deploy-group because no identity-based policy allows the codedeploy:CreateDeployment action
Error: Process completed with exit code 254.

I believe it's a permission problem, but I'm not able to solve it, can someone please help

Answer 1

You have to add codedeploy:CreateDeployment permissions for church-managment-bff-s3 user. You can do this as an inline policy for the user in aws console:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "codedeploy:CreateDeployment",
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}
