I am getting an error when I try to Create a New Key Pair in AWS EC2. The specific error is: "Error creating Key Pair: You are not authorized to perform this operation."

I can confirm my account has the AmazonEC2FullAccess role. I cannot even Create a New Key Pair even before creating a new EC2 instance.

Can anyone provide insight as to this error and how to fix it?

Thanks!

Have you logged in as Admin ? or are you a different User ? – Kedarnag Mukanahallipatna
Please edit your question with the actual command that you are using and the type of key pair that you are trying to create. – John Hanley
What do you mean by "my account has the AmazonEC2FullAccess role"? Do you mean that the AmazonEC2FullAccess policy is attached to the IAM User that you are using? – John Rotenstein

You will need to have ec2:CreateKeyPair & ec2:KeyPairName permissions assigned for resource ARN arn:aws:ec2:*:*:key-pair/*.
