Error running example

[jgwinner]

When running the sample pretty much as is (I did change to Oregon), I get the following error:

Serverless Error ---------------------------------------

  An error occurred: IamRoleLambdaExecution - API: iam:AttachRolePolicy User: arn:aws:iam::redacted:user/serverless-agent is not authorized to perform: iam:AttachRolePolicy on resource: role serverless-loopback-dev-us-west-2-lambdaRole.

What's weirder, is that I went to add "AttachRolePolicy" but couldn't find it in the list.

I get the same error if I run on east.

Ok, it's definitely a permissions error, if I add administrator access it does this:

Serverless: Packaging service...
Serverless: Excluding development dependencies...

At least I have a work around.

@jgwinner serverless is a bit "greedy" on permissions.

As you can read here: "Note: In a production environment, we recommend reducing the permissions to the IAM User which the Framework uses. Unfortunately, the Framework's functionality is growing so fast, we can't yet offer you a finite set of permissions it needs (we're working on this)."

Understood, and I did read that, but my point is that you should be able to download the sample, read the docs, and implement. I followed them, so if there is a need for higher permission levels, that should be added to the sample and instructions for running.
