AWS JAM: Game Skills Task 4: Slaying Red Dragons: The Final Showdown -> Redshift Query 2 -> The account couldn't be created.
So I am doing an AWS JAM and I did a redshift query task before and was able to configure my account, then run the query v2, connect and do data analysis.
In a different jam in "Task 4: Slaying Red Dragons: The Final Showdown" of the AWS Jam Journey Challenge AWS Game Skills
I did Task 1 to 3 but when it comes to running redshift queries to import data, I cannot even start the query editor.
I am again at the "Configure Account" page but my provided user seems to lack permissions. The hints also do not state that I have to change my role or user when configuring my account. (I know I need another IAM role when copying, but I don't get that far)

It seems you're encountering an issue with permissions when trying to configure your account for Amazon Redshift Query Editor v2 in an AWS JAM challenge. This is likely due to insufficient IAM permissions for your provided user.
To configure the account and use Query Editor v2, you typically need specific permissions. The most comprehensive set of permissions is provided by the AWS managed policy AmazonRedshiftQueryEditorV2FullAccess. This policy includes all the necessary permissions to use Query Editor v2, including the ability to configure account settings.
If you're unable to access the "Configure Account" page or perform actions on it, it's likely that your IAM user or role doesn't have the required permissions. Some key permissions you might be missing include:
- The ability to choose a KMS key for encrypting Query Editor v2 resources.
- Permission to specify an S3 bucket and path for certain features.
- The
sqlworkbench:UpdateAccountExportSettingspermission, which is needed to enable the "Export result set" feature for others in the account.
Without these permissions, you won't be able to complete the account configuration process, which is necessary before you can use Query Editor v2 to run queries and import data.
If the challenge hints don't mention changing your role or user, it's possible that:
- The challenge expects you to identify the permission issue and find a way to grant the necessary permissions.
- There might be a pre-configured role with the right permissions that you need to assume or use.
- The challenge could be set up in a way that requires you to request or activate additional permissions through some mechanism within the JAM environment.
Given that this is part of a challenge, you might need to explore the IAM settings, look for any pre-configured roles related to Redshift or Query Editor v2, or check if there are any instructions or clues about obtaining the necessary permissions within the challenge context.
