AWS EC2 'You are not authorized to perform this operation. Encoded authorization failure message:'


I am attempting to create an EC2 instance and get the following error message. How do I decode it ?

Launch Failed

You are not authorized to perform this operation. Encoded authorization failure message: KDmmJmkLKmQhatEqYt...MN3iUtfAa


Solution

  • use the following aws cli command from the console or CloudShell:

    aws sts decode-authorization-message --encoded-message KDmmJmkLKm...iUtfAa
