Problem scenario
You are logged into the AWS web console. You try to perform an operation but you get this error:
"AccessDeniedException
User: arn:aws:iam::12345678910:user/jdoe is not authorized to perform: iam:PassRole on resource: arn:aws:iam::12345678910:role/rolename"
What should you do?
Solution
1. Create a role with "EKS" (to create Kubernetes clusters). If you don't know how, see this posting.
2. Follow steps 1, 2, and 8 through 20 of this set of directions. (Go to that link but skip steps 3 through 7.)
