IAM policy condition key PrincipalArn not working for AWS SSO users?

Question

I have AWS SSO. There's a group, a permission set attached to the group, and an inline policy is attached to the permission set. I want to allow just one user of the group to do a certain action, here's a part of the inline policy that should do it:
```
Sid : "ECSExecuteCommand",
      "Effect" : "Allow",
      "Action" : "ecs:ExecuteCommand",
      "Resource" : "*",
      "Condition": {
        "StringEquals": {
          "aws:PrincipalArn": "arn:aws:sts::aws-account-id-xxx:assumed-role/AWSReservedSSO_Developers_role-id-xxx/user-name"
        }
      } 
```

However, it doesn't work. I'm getting the following error:

> An error occurred (AccessDeniedException) when calling the ExecuteCommand operation: User: arn:aws:sts::aws-account-id-xxx:assumed-role/AWSReservedSSO_Developers_role-id-xxx/user-name is not authorized to perform: ecs:ExecuteCommand on resource: arn:aws:ecs:us-east-1:aws-account-id:cluster/default because no identity-based policy allows the ecs:ExecuteCommand action.

Where am I wrong here?

Hi, look at section aws:PrincipalArn of https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_condition-keys.html

It seems that your arn string is incorrect: 'sts'  not needed.

The example of the doc is given below
```
IAM role – The request context contains the following value for condition key aws:PrincipalArn. 
Do not specify the assumed role session ARN as a value for this condition key. 
For more information about the assumed role session principal, see Role session principals.

arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/role-name
```

"Principal": { "AWS": "arn:aws:sts::AWS-account-ID:assumed-role/role-name/role-session-name" }
