AWS toolkit, cannot conncet to ECS via run command

My peers are using a different community version of an IDE (not jetbrains). They are able to connect to an AWS region, and run a /bin/sh command to get connect to an ECS container. I have had no luck with doing the same in intilliJ Ultimate 2023.3.1. 

You may not have the Permissions Required for using the execute command Please set up a Task Role with the required permissions and retry...

I figured it was some permission issue with my credentials. But I then installed the same IDE as my peers, and I am able to connect just fine. So I guess it is not a permission issue on the AWS side. Any other config I need in my IDE?
