This error occurs because you need to explicitly request access to specific foundation models before you can use them in Amazon Bedrock. Even if your AWS account is active, you need to go through a model access approval process.
To resolve this issue:
- Navigate to the Amazon Bedrock console
- Go to the "Model access" section
- Select the specific models you want to use
- Submit a request for access to these models
- Wait for approval before you can use them in the playground
If you've already submitted the request form but still see this error, there could be several reasons:
- Your request might still be pending approval
- There might be an issue with your AWS account permissions
- If you're using an AWS Organizations account, there might be Service Control Policies (SCPs) restricting access
If you continue to experience issues after requesting model access, you can:
- Check your IAM permissions to ensure you have the necessary rights
- Try operating from the root user account to rule out permission issues
- If problems persist, consider opening a case with AWS Support under "Account and billing" for further assistance

I also see this error and am operating from the root user to rule out permission issues. I have enabled the Amazon FMs in both London and us-east-1 (I see Access Granted) and I see the error when attempting to use the Playgrounds. I am not using AWS Organizations SCP. This is a new account.
