AWS S3 Bucket Permissions - Access Denied

Question

I am trying to give myself permission to download existing files in an S3 bucket. I\'ve modified the Bucket Policy, as follows:

        {
        \"Sid\": \"         


        

Answer 1

David, You are right but I found that, in addition to what bennie said below, you also have to grant view (or whatever access you want) to 'Authenticated Users'.

But a better solution might be to edit the user's policy to just grant access to the bucket:

{
   "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "Stmt1350703615347",
      "Action": [
        "s3:*"
      ],
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:s3:::mybucket/*"
      ]
    },
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "s3:ListBucket"
      ],
      "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::mybucket"],
      "Condition": {}
    }
  ]
}

The first block grants all S3 permissions to all elements within the bucket. The second block grants list permission on the bucket itself.
