Error While Creating Redshift Cluster with IAM User

Question

I'm encountering an error when trying to create a Redshift cluster using an IAM user. The error message I receive is:
**InvalidParameterValue
Redshift cannot access the secret**

The IAM user currently has the following permissions:
AmazonRedshiftAllCommandsFullAccess
AmazonRedshiftFullAccess
AmazonRedshiftQueryEditorV2FullAccess

If there are additional permissions or specific configurations required for creating a Redshift cluster?

Hello.

What specific settings are you trying to create a Redshift cluster with?  
Judging from the error message, it seems that the IAM role that is set when creating the RedShift cluster, not the IAM user, does not have sufficient permissions to access SecretsManager.  
Please try creating an IAM role for Redshift using the steps in the document below and attaching it when creating a cluster.  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/default-iam-role.html

Specifically, you can specify IAM roles in the following items when creating a cluster.
