Hi Rickard, 
I am trying to use ami_users to copy AMIs to multiple accounts and got the 
error below. I am currently using the Assume role and am I missing an IAM 
permission to modify a volume or something? 

*Build 'xxx-ecs-xxx' errored: Error modify AMI attributes: 
InvalidAMIAttributeItemValue: Invalid attribute item value " 437677xxxxxxxx " 
for userId item type.
**      status code: 400, request id: dsafdsa-2577-419a-b2ba-ba97c517d045*


Thanks,

John.
