Hello Team,

Is it possible to set up a KMS for SQS encryption?, i been reading the documentation and i found for lambda functions but not for SQS.

Thanks in advance.

When I use the default aws/sqs KMS key, I can send messages to the queue.

But when I try sending messages from SNS to SQS using the default KMS aws/sqs, it then fails with an error KMS.AccessDeniedException. [Tutuapp](https://tutuapp.uno/) [9Apps](https://9apps.ooo/)
