In order for this user to have access to the S3 resource you previously created, an IAM Policy needs to be set on this user. This can be done in several ways, one way is to use an inline policy for the user. Navigate to IAM Service once more, click Users and then click on the specific user you want to change permissions on. In our case this would be the user vidinet-user. Click the add inline policy button on the permissions tab for the user.
The permissions this user needs on the S3 resource objects are: GetObject, PutObject, DeleteObject and DeleteObjectVersion. For the S3 bucket itself the user needs: ListBucket and GetBucketLocation. Finally the user needs permission to list all buckets for this account: ListAllMyBuckets for all resources.
To achieve this enter the JSON tab on the inline policy and fill in the policy information. For us, this would look like the following:
| Code Block |

{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "AllowUserToReadWriteObjectDataInBuckets",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:GetObject",
"s3:PutObject",
"s3:DeleteObject",
"s3:DeleteObjectVersion"
],
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::my-vaas-storage/*"
]
},
{
"Sid": "AllowListingOfBuckets",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:ListBucket",
"s3:GetBucketLocation"
],
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::my-vaas-storage"
]
},
{
"Sid": "AllowListingOfAllBuckets",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:ListAllMyBuckets"
],
"Resource": "*"
}
]
} |
...
You may choose to use different S3 buckets or simply use a single bucket with different subdirectories for storage or thumbnails.
