I am getting following error when i try to create/delete queue using aws-sdk-cpp and aws-sdk-sqs:- error = {m_errorType=ACCESS_DENIED (15) m_exceptionName="AccessDenied" m_message="Access to the resource https://sqs.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/ is denied." ...}

I can create queue by logging to amazon console, but cannot do so using api(aws-sdk-cpp and aws-sdk-sqs). I am even able to send and receive msgs from queue using api. But I am not able to create/delete queue using api.

I have used following link as reference:- https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/blob/master/cpp/example_code/sqs/create_queue.cpp

Following is my code:- 

void createqueue()
{   
    Aws::Client::ClientConfiguration  CliConfig;

    CliConfig.region = "ap-south-1";

    Aws::SQS::SQSClient sqs(CliConfig);

    Aws::SQS::Model::CreateQueueRequest cq_req;

    Aws::String queue_name = "asdf";
    cq_req.SetQueueName(queue_name);

    Aws::Auth::AWSCredentials("************", "*****************");

    auto cq_out = sqs.CreateQueue(cq_req);
    if (cq_out.IsSuccess())
    {
        std::cout << "Successfully created queue " << queue_name << std::endl;
    }
    else
    {
        std::cout << "Error creating queue " << queue_name << ": " <<
            cq_out.GetError().GetMessage() << std::endl;
    }
}

The AWS credentials used to create or delete the SQS queue must allow those operations.

The credentials defined in your sample code are having no effect. Credentials can be passed to the SQSClient constructor or they can be defined as described at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-cpp/v1/developer-guide/credentials.html
