Configuring permissions for AWS storage

To configure permissions for AWS storage
1
From the AWS console, go to the IAM service.
2
Create a new policy using the following set of permissions:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "VisualEditor0",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:CreateBucket",
"s3:ListBucket",
"s3:DeleteBucket"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::*"
},
{
"Sid": "VisualEditor1",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:PutObject",
"s3:GetObject",
"s3:DeleteObject"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::*/*"
},
{
"Sid": "VisualEditor2",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
"Resource": "*"
}
]
}
3
Create a new user.
4
Under Permissions, attach the policy you created in Step 2 to the user you created in Step 3.
5
When adding the container or bucket to NetVault, use the access_key and secret_key of the newly created user.
