I am logged in with the root account trying to give public access to a bucket inline with the instructions for setting up a static s3 web site.
However I get an access denied message when running the bucket policy.
There is no more detail on the message.
This could be due to recent changes in S3
. To fix this issue, you need to assign Public Access to the bucket, follow the below steps:
In the Permissions
tab click on the Block Public Access
settings.
Click Edit
to the right of these settings.
Make sure Block public access to buckets and objects granted through new public bucket or access point policies
option is deselected.
Click Save
.
Go back to the Bucket Policy
and try again.
"Manage public bucket policies for this bucket" section need to be unchecked for to introduce "Allow" policies.
But be cautious, unchecking these might enable you to introduce a
policy but that policy is a public policy making your bucket public.
Having these checked - You won't be able to introduce "Allow" policies that for this bucket.
You can however introduce "Deny" policies, with these options checked.
