Issue/Introduction

Getting the error, "Asset does not exist or user does not have access", when using the tagging API, even though the asset is visible in CloudHealth.​

Resolution

When using the tagging API you must use the CloudHealth internal ID and not the AWS ID. 

The value of this id is returned as the ID parameter of the asset from the asset API.  If you try to use the AWS ID you will get the "Asset does not exist or user does not have access" error.
