# Unable to delete AWS resources with JIT Admin access due to AccessDeniedException

If you're experiencing an AccessDeniedException error when trying to delete AWS resources (such as SQS queues) even with temporary JIT Admin AWS Console access, this is due to delete protection policies in place for security purposes. Error Example You may see an error similar to: Error code: AccessDeniedException. Error message: User: arn:aws-us-gov:sts::account-id:assumed-role/duplomaster/user\@company.com-duplomaster is not authorized to perform: sqs:deletequeue on resource: arn:aws-us-gov:sqs:region:account-id:queue-name with an explicit deny in an identity-based policy Resolution This error occurs because there are intentional delete protection policies configured for the JIT Admin role to prevent accidental deletion of critical resources. To resolve this issue: Contact our support team and specify which resources you need to delete Our team will temporarily adjust the permissions for your role to allow the deletion Once the permissions are updated, you'll be able to delete the specified resources This security measure helps protect your infrastructure while still allowing necessary resource management when properly coordinated with our support team.
