Issue:
Missing permission errors from e2e logs
/kind bug

**What steps did you take and what happened:**

When running the e2e we are seeing some missing permission errors:

```

**What did you expect to happen:**

I would expect these errors not to be in the logs.


**Anything else you would like to add:**
[Miscellaneous information that will assist in solving the issue.]


**Environment:**

- Cluster-api-provider-aws version:
