Permission denied on AWS Device Farm

Question

Hi, I tried to run ./gradlew deviceFarmUpload but it failed because I am not authorized to perform: devicefarm:ListProjects with an explicit deny in an identity-based policy. I checked with my admin and he stated that I am in a user group which has the AWSDeviceFarmFullAccess policy attached to the group.

arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AWSDeviceFarmFullAccess
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Action": [
        "devicefarm:*"
      ],
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Resource": "*"
    }
  ]
}

Can I get help with this issue? Thank you so much.

Answer

The issue is that an explicit deny in **any** relevant policy will override any allow that you have (like the policy you included).

You will likely need to ask your admin about what _other_ policies are applied to your user/group/role, as it looks like some other policy is denying the action(s) you want.

Answer

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out. I just want to echo rowanu's answer here, as mentioned, it's most likely due to another policy attached which has an explicit deny. Please see here for the policy evaluation logic -> https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_evaluation-logic.html#policy-eval-denyallow
