Improve Communication of Permission Errors #1385

@bbernays

Description

@bbernays

in cloudquery/cq-provider-aws#955 user reported that they were missing specific resources even though they were using the resource = ["*"]. All of the logs and outputs clearly indicated that there were no errors and everything fetched successfully. In order to understand what was going on user had to rerun fetch with the -v argument.

CloudQuery needs to improve communication to user when there is a permission error. The communication needs to tell the user how to dig into the issue while not overly alarming them as in many environments there will be restrictions that don't enable the user to grab all resources which is perfectly valid.
