Configure a resource-based policy: S3

How to add a new policy to an existing S3 service.

  1. On the Service Manager page, select an existing S3 service.

    The List of Policies page appears.

  2. Click Add New Policy.
    The Create Policy page appears.


  3. Complete the Create Policy page as follows:
    Table 1. Policy Details
    Field Description
    Policy Name Enter a unique name for this policy. The name cannot be duplicated anywhere in the system.
    Policy Label An optional label for the policy. You can search reports and filter policies based on these labels.
    Enabled/Disabled Enables or disables the policy.
    Normal/Override Enables you to specify an override policy. When override is selected, the access permissions in the policy override the access permissions in existing policies. This feature can be used with Add Validity Period to create temporary access policies that override existing policies.
    S3 Bucket The S3 bucket.
    Path Specify the path for the policy. The default Recursive setting specifies that the path is recursive; you can also specify a non-recursive path. The default Include setting specifies that the path is included; you can also exclude the path.
    Description (Optional) Describe the purpose of the policy.
    Audit Logging Specify whether this policy is audited. (De-select to disable auditing).
    Add Validity Period Specify a start and end time for the policy.

    To designate a group as an Administrator, select the Delegate Admin check box. Administrators can edit or delete the policy, and can also create child policies based on the original policy.

  4. You can use the Plus (+) symbol to add additional conditions. Conditions are evaluated in the order listed in the policy. The condition at the top of the list is applied first, then the second, then the third, and so on.
  5. You can use Deny All Other Accesses to deny access to all other users, groups, and roles other than those specified in the allow conditions for the policy.
