I am getting s3 error: An error occurred (AccessDenied) when calling the ListBuckets operation: Access Denied


enter code heregetting: An error occurred (AccessDenied) when calling the ListBuckets operation: Access Denied

But I have a IAM policy set and using aws CLI with --profile that has the policy attached. IAM policy:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "s3:ListBucket",
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::my-repository"
        },
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor1",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:GetObjectAcl",
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:GetObjectTagging",
                "s3:DeleteObject"
            ],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::my-repository/data/*"
        }
    ]
}

aws --profile my-repository s3 ls

An error occurred (AccessDenied) when calling the ListBuckets operation: Access Denied

Solution

  • You need the following IAM permission to do aws s3 ls:

    {
        "Version": "2012-10-17",
        "Statement": [
            {
                "Effect": "Allow",
                "Action": "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
                "Resource": "*"
            }
        ]
    }
