I cannot add a file system to lambda (access denied)

Question

At https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/lambda/home?region=us-east-1#/functions/PaidProxyFunc/create/elastic-file-system?tab=configure "Add file system", when I click Save to add an EFS file system to my lambda function,

You do not have sufficient permission. Access denied.

What permissions should I add and to what?

Answer 1

Your Lambda function needs:

• role with basic permissions
• AWSLambdaVPCAccessExecutionRole
• AmazonElasticFileSystemClientReadWriteAccess
