Lambda is not authorized to perform: secretsmanager:GetSecretValue

Question

I've setup the following policy on the my role.

```
{
            "Action": [
                "secretsmanager:GetSecretValue"
            ],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-west-2:354135999999:secret:beta/Secrets-2ZZZZZZ",
            "Effect": "Allow"
        }
```

But I keep getting this error when my lamba website tries to startup. It's using .NET Core 2.1.

```
User: arn:aws:sts::354135999999:assumed-role/Dragnet-Beta-LambdaRole-1O22YYYYYYYYY/Dragnet-Beta-WebsiteLambda-11AZX4HXXXXXX is not authorized to perform: secretsmanager:GetSecretValue on resource: arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-west-2:354135999999:secret:beta/Secrets-2ZZZZZZ
```

I've used the policy simulator and when I paste in the ARN in the error message it says "Allowed". So I'm really confused as to why my Lambda can't get the secret.   
  
I have triple checked the role and policy it's using are what are showing up in the error message and that the lambda is configured with the matching role.

Answer

Fixed it.   
  
I just changed the memory size of the Lambda a little bit and Saved the change to force it to reload from cache. It then picked up the correct permissions and everything worked.   
  
Thanks
