  <p>It then hangs and I have to Ctrl-C to get out of it.
  I tried troubleshooting my AWS CLI environment by running <code>amplify configure</code> then followed the prompts to create a new user. The new user has the AdministratorAccess policy attached to its permissions, but it still has the same AccessDenied error.</p>
