I found wrong code in Blinky-Hello-World/register_thing.py

$ git diff fix_error_handling -- register_thing.py 
diff --git a/Blinky-Hello-World/register_thing.py b/Blinky-Hello-World/register_thing.py

When I used the modified code, I encountered the following error:

An error occurred (AccessDeniedException) when calling the GetRegistrationCode operation: User: arn:aws:iam::xxxxxxxxxxxx:user/xxx-xxx is not authorized to perform: iot:GetRegistrationCode on resource: * because no identity-based policy allows the iot:GetRegistrationCode action
