IAM user is unable to access AppSync console

Question

Trying to give a IAM user access to AppSync. I have set the following policies to this IAM user:

```
{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "amplify:*",
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "amplifybackend:*",
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "appsync:*",
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}
```

Each is its own policy because I used the visual editor to create the policies.

And yet when my IAM user tries to open AppSync there is a "Network error" message and inspecting the console I seem to be getting a bunch of 403s from the API requests.

What's the correct policy to give full access to the AppSync console?

*AWSAppSyncInvokeFullAccess* AWS managed policy has the necessary permissions to access AWS AppSync service through the console. The details are as below:

```
{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "appsync:GraphQL",
                "appsync:GetGraphqlApi",
                "appsync:ListGraphqlApis",
                "appsync:ListApiKeys"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}
```
