title: AWS Backup: Missing permission iam:PassRole
body: <p>I'm currently spinning in circles trying to restore from an AWS Backup and am running into permissions errors. I have administrator access to my AWS account. I've tried creating a new policy and attach it to my user account in IAM as follows:</p>

  <p>The issue I can't seem to get around is that I need to add the permission iam:PassRole but I can't seem to find it anywhere within the AWS portal. How can I add this permission to my policy?!</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I've created a policy with all backup permissions allowed and including iam:PassRole however I am still receiving the error message <code>You are not authorized to perform this operation.</code> when trying to perform the backup. The policy I've created and attached to my user looks as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      "Version": "2012-10-17",
      "Statement": [
          {
              "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
              "Effect": "Allow",
              "Action": [
                  "backup:*",
                  "iam:PassRole",
                  "iam:GetRole"
              ],
              "Resource": "*"
          }
      ]
  }
  </code></pre>
