Vapor AWS IAM access denied

Hi.

Im trying to setup Vapor on my machine but every time I try "vapor init" and create a new project I get through the app name, location and then I get::

Whoops! There were some problems with your request.

    - There was a problem creating one or more AWS resources for your project. AWS Error Message: Access Denied

now obviously theres an issue with the access credentials, but Ive gone through the setup process of creating a new IAM user with 'AdministratorAccess' and I've copied and pasted the credentials into "Team Settings > AWS Accounts". Ive tried this several times but I keep getting the above error.

Any ideas??

many thanks

@skoobi AWS is not as nice documented as Laracasts, thats for sure!

Try looking up users policies, group policies, see if any of them works. Other then that since Vapor is paid service - I would write to the support, simple solitions are best!
