AWS Trigger Automation from CloudWatch scheduled event

Question

I have the following event source type "schedule" - 20 18 ? ** SAT **. The target is SSM Automation. I have the following option ticked "Create a new role for this specific resource". When I proceed to create rule section I get the following error: Error There was an error while saving rule SomeNameTest. Details: The Automation definition used by an SSM Automation target must contain an Assume Role which evaluates to an IAM arn.  
  
The role is supposed to be automatically create, what am I missing the documentation is really hard to follow.  
  
I have checked to create a role for CloudWatch Events against SSM, but didn't see such option.

Answer

I have fixed that by creating a role, then adding it as assume role in the automation document, the creating the event, I have allowed amazon to create a document for me that allows simply gives permissions to run ssm specific document.
