Insufficient access AWS whilst using AWS CLI

I've been trying to access a project in AWS devicefarm using AWS CLI. Steps taken:

• Downloaded the AWS CLI tool
• Configured my credentials according to: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-quickstart.html using aws configure command
• executed aws devicefarm list-uploads --arn myProjectArn

and what i get is this error:

An error occurred (AccessDeniedException) when calling the ListUploads operation: User: arn:aws:iam::replacingANumber:user/myUserName is not authorized to perform: devicefarm:ListUploads on resource: arn:aws:devicefarm:us-west-2:replacingANumber:project:replacingALongString with an explicit deny

The docs:https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/troubleshooting_iam.html say i'm missing permissions, but devOps team in my company says i have all the permissions.

What am I missing?

Either misconfigured AWS CLI or insufficient permissions.

This can be 2 things:

• Your AWS CLI is misconfigured. Make sure that when you run aws sts get-caller-identity, you get the same role as the one that the devops team claims to have the correct permission. Also, make sure that your default region is us-west-2.
• If the above is correctly setup, then it comes from the permissions defined in the IAM policy. If you are able to view the policy associated with your user/role, you can check out the policy simulator to figure out which permission is missing.
