  message: The AWS Lambda permission has an AWS service principal but does not specify
    a source ARN. If you grant permission to a service principal without specifying
    the source, other accounts could potentially configure resources in their account
    to invoke your Lambda function. Set the source_arn value to the ARN of the AWS
    resource that invokes the function, eg. an S3 bucket, CloudWatch Events Rule,
    API Gateway, or SNS topic.
