Capstone Part 1 - Unable to attach IAM role to Redshift cluster - Lab blocking completion

Course Q&A Data Engineering Data Modeling, Transformation, and Serving

I have been unable to complete Capstone Project Part 1 due to an AWS permission issue that prevents me from attaching the required IAM role to the Redshift cluster.

The error is:
“The requested role arn:aws:iam::793346566579:role/de-c4w4a1-redshift-role is not associated to cluster”

I have tried:
- Using the AWS Console to attach the role (the role appears but shows “Not applied”)
- Using Terraform (permission denied)
- Using AWS CLI (permission denied)

My lab user does not have permission to modify the Redshift cluster or create Glue databases (glue:CreateDatabase is also denied).

Please either:
1. Attach the role for me, or
2. Grant me the necessary permissions, or
3. Reset my lab with proper permissions

AWS Account ID: 793346566579
Cluster: de-c4w4a1-redshift-cluster
Role to attach: de-c4w4a1-redshift-role

I cannot move to Capstone Part 2 without completing Part 1. Please help.

Thank you.

Hi @Kasireddy_Seshi_Reddy !

This looks like a platform-level permission issue with the lab environment.

I see the best step is to report this to the Coursera Help Center or use the ‘Help’ button inside the lab to contact the technical support team. They are who can reset the permissions for your specific account.

Hope it gets resolved quickly!

I wish you a happy learning!:blush:
