The automation consists of AWS Lambda functions and AWS Step Functions state machines.
The automation assumes an IAM role in the target AWS account. The automation takes snapshots of suspicious EC2 instances and assigns permissions to allow the security team’s account to copy the snapshots. The security team has an AWS KMS key to encrypt the snapshots. During testing, the automation fails to copy the snapshots into the security team’s AWS account.

An IAM user receives an Access Denied message when the user attempts to access objects in an Amazon S3 bucket. The user and the S3 bucket are in the same AWS account. The S3 bucket is configured to use server-side encryption with AWS KMS keys (SSE-KMS) to encrypt all of its objects at rest by using a customer managed key from the same AWS account. The S3 bucket has no bucket policy defined. The IAM user has been granted permissions through an IAM policy that allows thekms:Decryptpermission to the customer managed key. The IAM policy also allows thes3:List* ands3:Get* permissions for the S3 bucket and its objects.
Which of the following is a possible reason that the IAM user cannot access the objects in the S3 bucket?
