Problem is, as @helloV said, your user does not have access. Now this was a complete surprise to me because I was using the root (which I really shouldn't) and I ASSUMED it would just have access.

So solution is that you HAVE TO ATTACH a policy as shown in the screenshot below since even the root IAM account does not have this policy.
