How to resolve the "botocore.exceptions.ClientError: An error occurred (AccessDenied)" error?

When I try to generate the credential report, this error pops out

botocore.exceptions.ClientError: An error occurred (AccessDenied) when calling the GenerateCredentialReport operation: User: arn:aws:iam::111111111111:user/freshers is not authorized to perform: iam:GenerateCredentialReport on resource: *

How can I fix/resolve this issue?

Solution

  • Based on the comments.

    The solution was to add missing permission iam:GenerateCredentialReport to the IAM user or role which is used to execute the boto3 script.

    {
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement":
    {
        "Effect": "Allow",
        "Action":
        [
            "iam:GenerateCredentialReport",
            "iam:GetCredentialReport"
        ],
        "Resource": "*"
    }
}
