AWS S3 security considerations


When using AWS, follow the instructions in Security Best Practices in IAM in AWS Documentation.

Permit the following actions for both the bucket and all objects:

Permitted actions

s3:PutObject

s3:GetObject

s3:ListBucketByTags

s3:ListBucketVersions

s3:ListBucket

s3:DeleteObject

s3:GetBucketLocation

The following is an example of a JSON policy:

{
      "Statement": [
             {
                     "Sid": "ObjectAccess",
                     "Effect": "Allow",
                     "Principal": {
                             "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::************:user/********"
                     },
                     "Action": [
                             "s3:PutObject",
                             "s3:GetObject",
                             "s3:ListBucketVersions",
                             "s3:ListBucket",
                             "s3:DeleteObject",
                             "s3:GetBucketLocation"
                     ],
                     "Resource": [
                            "arn:aws:s3:::<bucketName>",
                            "arn:aws:s3:::<bucketName>/*"
                     ]
              }
      ]
}
