I'm trying to set up Lightsail on AWS to run a Wordpress installation.
When I try to get in using my 'user' account, I get this error:
https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/error/access-denied
There might be a problem.
It looks like you aren't authorized.
If you're signed in as an IAM user, ask your administrator to create a permissions policy that grants access to Amazon Lightsail resources and related AWS services.
But when I log in with my admin user account, I can't see any Lightsail policies in the permissions policies lists.
Where can I enable the correct policy? Currently I can only set up my Lightsail server as the admin user, not with my user account.
You are correct, there is no Managed Policy for Amazon Lisghtsail access.
You will need to create your own inline policy to grant access.
To grant full permissions, use:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"lightsail:*"
],
"Resource": "*"
}
]
}
