Answer 1

You need to assign the role to lambda function to read from the secret manager.

AWS role The following IAM policy allows read access to all resources that you create in AWS Secrets Manager. This policy applies to resources that you have created already and all resources that you create in the future.

{
              "Version": "2012-10-17",
              "Statement": [
                {
                  "Effect": "Allow",
                  "Action": [
                    "secretsmanager:GetResourcePolicy",
                    "secretsmanager:GetSecretValue",
                    "secretsmanager:DescribeSecret",
                    "secretsmanager:ListSecretVersionIds"
                  ],
                  "Resource": ["*"]
                }
              ]
            }
