Troubleshooting Amazon Fraud Detector identity and access

Use the following information to help you diagnose and fix common issues that you might encounter when working with Amazon Fraud Detector and IAM.

I am not authorized to perform an action in Amazon Fraud Detector

If the AWS Management Console tells you that you're not authorized to perform an action, then you must contact your administrator for assistance. Your administrator is the person that provided you with your sign-in credentials.

The following example error occurs when the mateojackson user tries to use the console to view details about a detector but does not have frauddetector:GetDetectors permissions.

User: arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/mateojackson is not authorized to perform: frauddetector:GetDetectors on resource: my-example-detector

In this case, Mateo asks his administrator to update his policies to allow him to access the my-example-detector resource using the frauddetector:GetDetectors action.

I am not authorized to perform iam:PassRole

If you receive an error that you're not authorized to perform the iam:PassRole action, your policies must be updated to allow you to pass a role to Amazon Fraud Detector.

Some AWS services allow you to pass an existing role to that service instead of creating a new service role or service-linked role. To do this, you must have permissions to pass the role to the service.

The following example error occurs when an IAM user named marymajor tries to use the console to perform an action in Amazon Fraud Detector. However, the action requires the service to have permissions that are granted by a service role. Mary does not have permissions to pass the role to the service.

User: arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/marymajor is not authorized to perform: iam:PassRole

In this case, Mary's policies must be updated to allow her to perform the iam:PassRole action.

If you need help, contact your AWS administrator. Your administrator is the person who provided you with your sign-in credentials.

I want to allow people outside of my AWS account to access my Amazon Fraud Detector 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.

Amazon Fraud Detector could not assume the given role

If you receive an error that Amazon Fraud Detector could not assume the given role, then you must update the trust relationship for the specified role. By specifying Amazon Fraud Detector as a trusted entity, the service can assume the role. When you use Amazon Fraud Detector to create a role, this trust relationship is automatically set. You only need to establish this trust relationship for IAM roles that are not created by Amazon Fraud Detector.

To establish a trust relationship for an existing role to Amazon Fraud Detector
  1. Open the IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/

  2. In the navigation pane choose Roles.

  3. Choose the name of the role that you want to modify, and choose the Trust relationships tab.

  4. Choose Edit trust relationship.

  5. Under Policy Document, paste the following, and then choose Update Trust Policy.

    { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "Service": "frauddetector.amazonaws.com" }, "Action": "sts:AssumeRole" } ] }
