Hey @fistofzen, this appears to be similar to #7582, currently being tracked as bug. The comment provides a workaround in using the custom-policies.json to add the permissions: #7582 (comment)

[femmedecentral]

FWIW I had the same error, and the workaround mentioned by @ykethan (I think) didn't apply to me because this was at the amplify push stage, not something contained in the permissions with a lambda function, which is what I think the custom-policies.json workaround applies to.

I finally got my new env to build, and my old one that was also producing a Cognito related build error (I was trying to create a Cognito group in this push), by searching in IAM for a role that had the same role name as the error (____Full-access) and then adding an inline policy that gave that role the permission to GetGroup for resources within my project (I had at least 2 different ARNs, so I just did a * to save myself some time since I thought GetGroup was low stakes).

I hope you were able to move beyond this bug, but documenting in case anyone else ever runs into this.

@femmedecentral apologies on delay and thank you for the context. Marking this as bug to update the managed policy to add cognito-idp:GetGroup
