S3: Access Policies (Q5)
Hi
I don't get passed this question when I put this for the access point:
What am I missing here please, I always get an error on AWS saying that the access point can't be implemented.
{
   "Version":"2012-10-17",
   "Statement": [
   {
       "Effect": "Allow",
       "Principal": {
           "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::407044316022:user/metrolio-accessor"
       },
       "Action": ["s3:ListBucket", "s3:GetObject"],
       "Resource": [
         "arn:aws:iam::407044316022:accesspoint/metrolio-access-point/object/data/*"
       ]
   }]
}
- Hi kikasudo - Lets solve it. We are required to create access point in specified bucket. - What is access point? - While bucket policies allow access to a specific user or group, this can be difficult to maintain with a large number of users, so AWS created access points. - Go to amazon s3 => buckets => metrolio-grant-some-access-74e985a2 - you will find 2 objects in this bucket. click "access points" available in the menubar. Initially there is no access point in the specified bucket. - there is a button named "create access point", click it
- enter name of the access point and select internet 
- as per question user metrolio-accessor is allowed to list all subjects ie s3:ListBucket 
- download only those within the data directory ie s3:GetObjectIn resource part there should be 2 lines: 
- "Resource": [ - "arn:aws:iam::407044316022:accesspoint/metrolio-access-point", - "arn:aws:iam::407044316022:accesspoint/metrolio-access-point/object/data/*" - ]
