  • Go to My Security Credentials.
My Security Credentials
  • Select Get Started with IAM Users.
Get Started with IAM Users
  • Select the Create Policy option in the Policy section, then select Create Your Own Policy.
Create Your Own Policy
  • The next step is to add a Policy Document, which will look like this:

    *This Policy does not require editing. I.e. you permit to use the methods “s3:ListBucket” and “s3:GetBucketLocation” with the bucket 
    arn:aws:s3:::${aws:username}, and “s3:PutObject”, “s3:GetObject”, “s3:DeleteObject”, “s3:PutObjectAcl” for the all objects in that bucket.

  • At this step, you will need to go back to My Security Credentials, select the Users section and create a user who will have access to the mentioned bucket.
