attach-policy returning Policy not found error

[jimenaCabrejas]

Hello,

I'm trying to attach a policy to a cognito Identity Id using the command aws iot attach-policy. I have verified that the policy I'm trying to attach is correctly created, I can see this:

$aws iam get-policy --policy-arn arn:aws:iam::xxxxx:policy/IoTFullPolicy
{
    "Policy": {
        "PolicyName": "IoTFullPolicy",
        "Arn": "arn:aws:iam::xxxxx:policy/IoTFullPolicy",
        "Path": "/",
        "DefaultVersionId": "v1",
        "AttachmentCount": 5,
        "PermissionsBoundaryUsageCount": 0,
        "IsAttachable": true,
        "CreateDate": "2022-06-02T11:54:42Z",
        "UpdateDate": "2022-06-02T11:54:42Z"
    }
}

But when I try to attach it I get the following error:

$aws iot attach-policy --policy-name "IoTFullPolicy" --target "eu-west-1:xxxxxxxxxx"

An error occurred (ResourceNotFoundException) when calling the AttachPolicy operation: Policy not found

Any idea why this is happening?

Hi @jimenaCabrejas thanks for reaching out. Here is the aws iot attach-policy documentation for reference: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/iot/attach-policy.html

When using the --target parameter it looks like you need the full ARN. For example:
--target "arn:aws:iot:us-west-2:123456789012:thinggroup/LightBulbs

Hi! Thank you for your answer. I was following this Amplify tutorial https://docs.amplify.aws/lib/pubsub/getting-started/q/platform/js/#step-1-create-iam-policies-for-aws-iot
Following this I only know my Cognito Identity ID. Where can I see the full ARN of my Cognito Identity ID?

Edit: I just found it! Thank you

@jimenaCabrejas Where did you find the full ARN then?
