I'm not authorized to perform an action in App Runner
If the AWS Management Console tells you that you're not authorized to perform an action, contact your administrator for assistance. Your administrator is the person that provided you with your AWS sign-in credentials.
The following example error occurs when an IAM user named marymajor tries to use the console to view details about an App Runner service
but doesn't have apprunner:DescribeService permissions.
User: arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/marymajor is not authorized to perform: apprunner:DescribeService on resource:my-example-service
In this case, Mary asks her administrator to update her policies to allow her to access the
my-example-serviceapprunner:DescribeService action.
I want to allow people outside of my AWS account to access my App Runner resources
You can create a role that users in other accounts or people outside of your organization can use to access your resources. You can specify who is trusted to assume the role. For services that support resource-based policies or access control lists (ACLs), you can use those policies to grant people access to your resources.

To learn whether App Runner supports these features, see How App Runner works with IAM.

To learn how to provide access to your resources across AWS accounts that you own, see Providing access to an IAM user in another AWS account that you own in the IAM User Guide.
-
To learn how to provide access to your resources to third-party AWS accounts, see Providing access to AWS accounts owned by third parties in the IAM User Guide.
-
To learn how to provide access through identity federation, see Providing access to externally authenticated users (identity federation) in the IAM User Guide.

To learn the difference between using roles and resource-based policies for cross-account access, see Cross account resource access in IAM in the IAM User Guide.
