# AWS S3

### Set up Aamazon S3

#### Create IAM User

First we advice to create a dedicated user for API access. Please read more in [Creating an IAM User in Your AWS Account](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users_create.html#id_users_create_console).

During cretion assign "Programmatic access" to this user.

On the last screen copy *Access key ID* and *Secret access key*. These will be used later for plugin configuration. You can also download these credentials.

#### Create a bucket

Proceed to S3 service and click "Create". The wizard will open.

One the first step set you bucket name

#### Set up public access policy

To enable public access for your bucket you should set a special policy rule. Proceed to your bucket > *Permissions* > *Bucket Policy* and paste the following rule:

{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": \[ { "Sid": "AllowPublic", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "AWS": "\*" }, "Action":\[ "s3:PutObject", "s3:PutObjectAcl", "s3:GetObject", "s3:GetObjectAcl", "s3:DeleteObject" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::ncuploads/\*" } ] }

Of course you should change *ncuploads* to your actual bucket name.

### Plugin Configuration
