As the question asks, what are the minimum required permissions for a locked down s3 IAM user to use django-storages successfully? At the present time I've used something like
{
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": ["s3:ListAllMyBuckets"],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::*"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": ["s3:ListBucket",
"s3:GetBucketLocation",
"s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads",
"s3:ListBucketVersions"],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": ["s3:*Object*",
"s3:ListMultipartUploadParts",
"s3:AbortMultipartUpload"],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name/*"
}
]
}
Which may actually be overkill. Any further ideas?
Fiver's answer is not enough to run collectstatic in django-storages. I used everything jvc26 did except for s3:ListAllMyBuckets. I would assume s3:ListBucketVersions is not needed either.
{
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": ["s3:ListBucket",
"s3:GetBucketLocation",
"s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads",
"s3:ListBucketVersions"],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": ["s3:*Object*",
"s3:ListMultipartUploadParts",
"s3:AbortMultipartUpload"],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name/*"
}
]
}
I'm not 100% sure about django-storages, as I use cuddly-buddly which is based on the S3 portion of django-storages. I just found cuddlybuddly simpler to use and worked better, plus the name is awesome!
Anyway, I have a project using Django+S3 and found the following AWS policy as the minimum required for my project:
{
"Version": "2008-10-17",
"Id": "Policy123",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "Stmt123",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"AWS": "arn:aws:iam::some-aws-user"
},
"Action": "s3:ListBucket",
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name"
},
{
"Sid": "Stmt234",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"AWS": "arn:aws:iam::some-aws-user"
},
"Action": [
"s3:DeleteObject",
"s3:GetObject",
"s3:PutObject"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name/*"
}
]
}
I have Django views that need to upload, retrieve, and delete so those corresponding actions can be used/omitted based on your needs. Obviously, anyone will need to change the user and bucket name.
Also, just for completeness as it wasn't obvious to me, note the following restrictions regarding AWS policies:
The maximum size of a policy is 20 KB
The value for Resource must be prefixed with the bucket name or the
bucket name and a path under it (bucket/). If only the bucket name is
specified, without the trailing /, the policy applies to the bucket.
Each policy must have a unique policy ID (Id)
Each statement in a policy must have a unique statement ID (sid)
Each policy must cover only a single bucket and resources within that
bucket (when writing a policy, don't include statements that refer to
other buckets or resources in other buckets)
Finally, to anyone tempted to do so, don't change the date value in the Version
key, Amazon uses this value to parse the policy format.
Hope this helps!
that works for me:
{
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:ListBucket",
"s3:GetBucketLocation",
"s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads",
"s3:ListBucketVersions"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::bucket_name_here"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:*Object*",
"s3:ListMultipartUploadParts",
"s3:AbortMultipartUpload"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::bucket_name_here/*"
}
]
}
