backup.describeBackupVault fails with permission error if backup vault does not exist.

[justengland]

When running a basic ___ command the command fails with an AccessDenied, it seems like this should fail with a different exception. Looks like it may be an API problem, but I am not sure.

`var backup = new AWS.Backup();

var params = {
BackupVaultName: 'fakename'
};
backup.describeBackupVault(params, function(err, data) {
if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // If the vault does not exsist it fails with a 403 exception
else console.log(data); // if the name does exsist then it succeeds.
});`

AccessDeniedException: Insufficient privileges to perform this action.

Also the backup.describeBackupVault.promise function fails with this.makeRequest is not a function exception. I am unsure if they are related issues.

@justengland,

I wasn't able to reproduce the promise issue.

Can you provide an example of your code?

What exception are you expecting instead of AcessDenied?

[justengland]

The promise issue appears to an issue in the way was due to some async await issues on my side.

I would expect requesting a resource would yield a 404 response from the API and that would yield some sort of not found exception. Throwing a security exception, makes it seem like a security-related issue.

The AccessDeniedException is returned by the Backup Service.

The Backup Service Team would be best suited to answer why a 403 is being returned instead of a 404. You can raise the issue on their AWS Developer Forum.
