AWS CLI connection AWS: "You are not authorized to perform this operation"

Question

I am following the course AWS Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service Kubernetes masterclass devops microservices

As part of this, I have attempted to set the AWS configuration as:

aws configure
AWS Access Key ID [****************5P7N]:
AWS Secret Access Key [****************U3Hn]:
Default region name [eu-west-2]:
Default output format [json]:

aws ec2 describe-vpcs gives the response:

An error occurred (UnauthorizedOperation) when calling the DescribeVpcs operation: You are not authorized to perform this operation.

Answer 1

I added the permission AdministratorAccess to the IAM user. I can now run aws ec2 describe-vpcs.
