I am not authorized to perform an action in CodeGuru Security
If the AWS Management Console tells you that you're not authorized to perform an action, you must contact your administrator for assistance.
The following example error occurs when the user mateojackson tries to
use the console to view details about a code review, but does not have
codeguru-security:
permissions.CreateScan
User: arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/mateojackson is not authorized to perform: codeguru-security:CreateScanon resource:my-example-code-scan
In this case, Mateo asks his administrator to update his policies to allow him to
access the my-example-code-scancodeguru-security: action.CreateScan
I want to allow people outside of my AWS account to access my CodeGuru Security 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.
