"services is forbidden: User \"system:serviceaccount:tick:external-dns\" cannot list resource \"services\" in API group \"\" at the cluster scope"

I've been following the walkthrough to create an AWS ALB Ingress Controller for my app which is also deployed at an EKS cluster.
Everything seems okay , similar answers with the walkthrough but when it comes to the setting up of an external DNS I get the error :

kubectl logs -f $(kubectl get po | egrep -o 'external-dns[A-Za-z0-9-]+')

time="2020-02-20T16:21:57Z" level=error msg="services is forbidden: User \"system:serviceaccount:tick:external-dns\" cannot list resource \"services\" in API group \"\" at the cluster scope" time="2020-02-20T16:22:58Z" level=error msg="services is forbidden: User \"system:serviceaccount:tick:external-dns\" cannot list resource \"services\" in API group \"\" at the cluster scope"

every one minute . I made sure that all the permissions are the needed ones so it should not be because of that.

I tried the solutions from here , but nothing helped and I couldn't find any other solutions.

What does this error practically means? What should I do to fix it?

UPDATE EDIT my external-dns configuration looks like:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount

  name: external-dns

    eks.amazonaws.com/role-arn: arn:aws:iam::*my*account*id*:role/EKSRole

Your error suggests that service account with name external-dns in tick namespace can't perform certain actions. In this case it is list services. To solve this you can apply the following:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
  name: external-dns
  namespace: tick
---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: ClusterRole
metadata:
  name: external-dns-role
rules:
- apiGroups: [""]
  resources: ["services"]
  verbs: ["get","watch","list"]
- apiGroups: [""]
  resources: ["pods"]
  verbs: ["get","watch","list"]
- apiGroups: ["extensions"]
  resources: ["ingresses"]
  verbs: ["get","watch","list"]
- apiGroups: [""]
  resources: ["nodes"]
  verbs: ["list","watch"]
---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
  name: external-dns-role-binding
roleRef:
  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
  kind: ClusterRole
  name: external-dns-role
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
  name: external-dns
  namespace: tick

Note, that first rule inside ClusterRole is granting correct permissions to list services in "" apiGroup, which is solving the error you have reported in your question.
