Recommended action: Parse the context phrase and fix that layer: SCPs require an org admin (agents cannot fix from the member account), permissions boundaries/session policies need adjustment by whoever sets them, identity policies need an Allow. Don't keep broadening the identity policy when an SCP/boundary is the denier. Option: Route the fix to the policy layer named in the error [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Any AccessDenied with context Steps: 1. Copy the full error and locate the phrase after the action 2. SCP -> ask the Organizations admin to review SCPs for the action 3. permissions boundary / session policy -> adjust the boundary or the AssumeRole session policy 4. no identity-based policy allows -> add a least-privilege Allow to the role/user Expected: Correct layer adjusted; call succeeds Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
