For resource kms don’t work Is different for key policy?

[@WojciechLepczynski]

There are no implicit or automatic permission to use or manage a KMS key. The primary way to manage access to your AWS KMS resources is with policies. KMS keys belong to the AWS account in which they were created. However, no identity or principal, including the AWS account root user, has permission to use or manage a KMS key unless that permission is explicitly provided in a key policy, IAM policy or grant. The IAM identity who creates a KMS key is not considered to be the key owner and they don't automatically have permission to use or manage the KMS key that they created. Like any other identity, the key creator needs to get permission through a key policy, IAM policy, or grant. However, identities who have the kms:CreateKey permission can set the initial key policy and give themselves permission to use or manage the key. To better understand KMS you can read for example docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/control-access.html

If you need any evidence that AWS is pure mess riding on marketing, this is perfect example.
