When I run my lambda code, I get the following error:
The ciphertext refers to a customer master key that does not exist, does not exist in this region, or you are not allowed to access.
I have mostly followed this to create the stack using aws-sam-cli, and the relevant sections of the template are below the code.
The relevant code is:
const ssm = new AWS.SSM();
const param = {
Name: "param1",
WithDecryption: true
};
const secret = await ssm.getParameter(param).promise();
The relevant part of the template.yaml file is:

Does the KMSDecryptPolicy
not allow the use of the key? What am I missing? Thanks!
EDIT: Changing the template to below works, but I'd really like to use the KMSDecryptPolicy
in the lambda definition if possible.

The question itself contains the answer. The change is that instead of giving KMS permissions in the lambda role only (identity based way), it has also given permissions to the lambda role in the key policy (resource based way).
Here is the AWS official resource on why this is happening - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/iam-policies.html
According to this
All KMS CMKs have a key policy, and you must use it to control access to a CMK. IAM policies by themselves are not sufficient to allow access to a CMK, though you can use them in combination with a CMK's key policy.
