Have you attached a policy to your new IAM user?
If it doesn't have a policy attached it's effectively a user without any permission to do anything. The idea of IAM users is to easily restrict permissions

Hello
I purchased Laravels forge and created a digital ocean droplet. However after a month or so I have decided to move away from DO and go to Amazon AWS.However, i'm running into problems trying to get forge working with Amazon AWS.
When I go to My Account > Server Providers > Amazon and put in my Key and Secret, the error I get is:
"Whoops! There were some problems with your input. Invalid API credentials."
However, I just created a new IAM user in amazon console so I know they key and secret are correct.
Any ideas?
