The execution role you provide must allow AWS EventBridge Scheduler to assume the role

Question

When trying to set up a Event Bridge scheduler to run a simple lambda function , I get the following error: 
"The execution role you provide must allow AWS EventBridge Scheduler to assume the role"

I have tried creating the scheduler using "custom execution" role as well as allowing "AWS to create a new one" . Both execution roles have the assumeRole in the Trust-Relationship as shown below:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": {
                "Service": "scheduler.amazonaws.com"
            },
            "Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
            "Condition": {
                "StringEquals": {
                    "aws:SourceAccount": "XXXXXXXXXXX"
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}
Please note, I am able to successfully setup a scheduler event on another AWS account following the same steps in the same region.  Could there any be anything fundamentally missing in the AWS account?? 
 
There is another thread in rePost with the same error,  but none of the solutions there seems to work.  Please help!

Accepted Answer

Well it could be multiple things, like if both (eventbridge and lambda) are on the same account, or probably a simpler explanation how did you create the lambda function. Lambda functions have a resource policy control, which you need to configure to allow it to be invoked from the eventbridge service, so you need to add something like this:

```
aws lambda add-permission \
--function-name LogScheduledEvent \
--statement-id my-scheduled-event \
--action 'lambda:InvokeFunction' \
--principal events.amazonaws.com \
--source-arn arn:aws:events:us-east-1:123456789012:rule/my-scheduled-rule
```
To make sure that EventBrige can invoke the lambda function, you have a good example documented here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eb-run-lambda-schedule.html

Hope this helps. Anyway for the next time if you can include your cloudtrail Deny event would help a lot to diagnose. Thanks!

Best,

The execution role you provide must allow AWS EventBridge Scheduler to assume the role
