AWS Lake Formation AccessDenied

Question

I've enabled Lake Formation and tried to create a Database but no matter what I still get an error: Insufficient Lake Formation permission(s): Required Create Database on Catalog

I'm using root account with all privileges. I even gave AWSLakeFormationDataAdmin privilege explicitly without success. I've added myself (user) to Data Lake Administrator but I cannot add myself to Database Creator (AWS Lake Formation > Permissions > Admins and Database Creators):

Resource does not exist or requester is not authorized to access requested permissions.

So basically the only thing I'm capable of is to register S3 location. Is there something I do wrong?

Hi, did you manage to fix it ? I have a similar problem, either with a lamba or a iam user, both with lakeformation:* rights. – Crackerjack

Check out the underlying S3 bucket's resource policy. Maybe there is an explicit deny that blocks you. I would also try doing the same action with aws cli, it might give more details – Barbirolli
