Describe the bug

I created a new env and i tried to push the backend to it. Resulting in the following error: Resource handler returned message: "User: arn:aws:sts::XXXXX:assumed-role/eu-central-1_K3YXJVKQN_Full-access/amplifyadmin is not authorized to perform: cognito-idp:GetGroup on resource: arn:aws:cognito-idp:eu-central-1:XXXXX:userpool/eu-central-1_He0G2wrhm because no identity-based policy allows the cognito-idp:GetGroup action (Service: CognitoIdentityProvider, Status Code: 400, Request ID: abfcf153-b16b-44a8-85a7-84ead72265a6)" (RequestToken: 6b86c0b7-4b2a-ce88-1139-b91d18ccd86c, HandlerErrorCode: GeneralServiceException)

Reproduction steps

thanks for raising this! I'm going to transfer this over to our CLI repository as this appears to be Gen 1 CLI issue.

Hey @GenGraphic, thank you for reaching out. It appears the eu-central-1_K3YXJVKQN_Full-access role is trying to perform a GetGroup on a Cognito userpool resource. To mitigate the issue, you should be able to add the cognito-idp:GetGroup as an inline policy on the eu-central-1_K3YXJVKQN_Full-access role in the AWS IAM console.

Hi @ykethan. Thank you for the fast reply, this is much appreciated. what we are trying to do is to duplicate our production env, and use it as development env. I created the new env and i get this error while trying to push the backend to the new created env. So a new user pool is created (along with functions, Tables, S3), and trying to get and create a new AdminsGroup (like we have on our prod env). So adding an inline policy is the fisrt thing i tried, but i cant give it the right Resource, since the i don't know the new user pool ARN because it doesn't exist yet. Tank you!

[ykethan]

@GenGraphic since the new resource name would contain a random hash value, adding the inline policy may not be idea.
but you could try adding the cognito-idp:GetGroup action similar to the managed policy for Amplify.

@ykethan Thanks for your Replay. I already gave the role Administrator policy, this means the role should have full access. I managed to solve the problem by adding the cognito-idp:GetGroup and cognito-idp:AddGroup to all resources (this included also the future ones) and the new env got successfully created.
