User is not authorized to perform: cloudformation:CreateStack

Question

I\'m trying out Serverless to create AWS Lambdas and while creating a project using the command serverless project create I\'m getting the following error.

Answer 1

I fixed this issue by adding the permission to the user in the AWS console:

1. Go to AWS Console
2. Find the user whose credentials you are using IAM > Access Management > Users
3. Permissions > 'Add Permissions' > 'Attach existing policies directly'
4. Search for and select 'AWSCloudFormationFullAccess'
