[1046] Different permissions in the AWS S3 policy

The s3:GetObject permission in an AWS S3 policy allows a user to retrieve objects (files) from an S3 bucket. This permission is crucial for read access, enabling users to download or view the contents of the objects stored in the bucket¹²³.

Here’s an example of how s3:GetObject might be used in a policy:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": "s3:GetObject",
      "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::your-bucket-name/*"
    }
  ]
}

In this example, the policy grants permission to get (read) any object within the specified bucket.

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": "s3:ListBucket",
      "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::your-bucket-name"
    }
  ]
}
