Answer

Here is an AWS Support Knowledge Center article that may give you pointers on how to debug this - https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/iam-assume-role-error/

Answer

Just to add a bit more detail to Indranil's answer: Your IAM User does not have permission to call the `sts:AssumeRole` action to assume the role.

Adding that permission to the user (for the role resource that you're attempting to assume) will fix the error.

not authorized to perform: sts:AssumeRole
