"aws elasticbeanstalk list-available-solution-stacks" returns empty arrays

Question

When trying to figure out a valid solutionStackName for  CfnEnvironment. Running the  aws command ""aws elasticbeanstalk list-available-solution-stacks" returns empty arrays when run locally. When running the same command in AWS cloudshell it works correctly. Tried running it both in powershell and in wsl2 (ubuntu).

```
aws elasticbeanstalk list-available-solution-stacks
{
    "SolutionStacks": [],
    "SolutionStackDetails": []
}
```
Running same command in aws cloudshell

```
aws elasticbeanstalk list-available-solution-stacks
{
    "SolutionStacks": [
        "64bit Amazon Linux 2018.03 v2.9.11 running PHP 5.4",
        "64bit Amazon Linux 2018.03 v2.9.11 running PHP 5.5",
        "64bit Amazon Linux 2018.03 v2.9.11 running PHP 5.6",
        "64bit Amazon Linux 2018.03 v2.9.11 running PHP 7.0",
        ... + more
```
Why is this not working locally? All other aws cli commands I tried worked.

Thanks,
Patrik

Accepted Answer

It turned out it was a permissions issue, after updating my aws cli credentials to the correct role I got results back.

I would have expected to get a permission denied back instead of a empty result set, but I assume that is by design.
