Problem to set event destination of Amazon SES using Kinesis Firehose

Question

I created the role needed to connect the services but i'm getting these two errors:

* Could not access Kinesis Firehose Stream using IAM role
* Could not assume IAM role

Permission Policy:
```
{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "*"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                 "arn:aws:firehose:delivery-region:111122223333:deliverystream/delivery-stream-name"
            ]
        }
    ]
}
```

Trust Policy:
```
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "Service": "ses.amazonaws.com"
      },
      "Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
      "Condition": {
        "StringEquals": {
          "AWS:SourceAccount": "111122223333",
          "AWS:SourceArn": "arn:aws:ses:delivery-region:111122223333:configuration-set/configuration-set-name"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

Link that i used to guide me:

Can someone help me ?

I know this may sound stupid and you should not share your account id or resources names here, but have you actually changed the placeholders that are in the policy ?

If you did, have you checked if it is correct ?

The trust policy defines "who" can assume the role, attaching a role to a resource just tells it must assume that role.

If this does not solve your problem or still have any question please let me know.
