403 error in CloudFront AWS for my amazon educate account

Question

I am using an aws educate account provided by my college instructor to learn about serverless application development in aws. I am trying to use CloudFront for Content Delivery Network services but I get the following error. How can this be resolved.

com.amazonaws.services.cloudfront.model.AccessDeniedException: User: arn:aws:sts::127746452845:assumed-role/vocstartsoft/user616202=riwaj.chalise@deerwalk.edu.np is not authorized to perform: cloudfront:ListDistributions with an explicit deny (Service: AmazonCloudFront; Status Code: 403; Error Code: AccessDenied; Request ID: 50ae6438-3196-452a-bcf9-80aaa5cf5e7c; Proxy: null)

How can I resolve this issue? Can my educator provide me the access to this service(cloudfront)?

Answer 1

This is because your user doesn't have privilege to access AWS cloudfront. You can ask your educator for the same.

There is something called AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) which helps to create users and manage access for each users or group of users to AWS services and resources securely.
