Firstly, what is the difference between these two ACL options: private/bucket-owner-full-control? From document, one is FULL_CONTROL for 'owner', the other is FULL_CONTROL for 'both the object owner and the bucket owner'. Then I thought that the 'private' is only for object owner, not even for the bucket owner,hence the bucket owner can't access the object. It is not true...
Secondly, is there a way to stop browsing data from S3 console at all?
Thanks.
Object is an item in bucket.
Access policy allows more permissions than ACL does, you use ACL to primarily grant basic read/write permissions, similar to file system permissions.
For full-control a Canned ACL is bucket-owner-full-control:
Both the object owner and the bucket owner get FULL_CONTROL over the object. If you specify this canned ACL when creating a bucket, Amazon S3 ignores it.
private canned ACL applies to Bucket and object:
Owner gets FULL_CONTROL. No one else has access rights (default).
To Answer Second Question only way to stop browsing data from console is by logging in as an IAM user who does not have permission to s3, if you are logged in as root user (NOT RECOMMENDED) you will see all the AWS Resources in Console.
Hope this helps and for reference read this.

I have an IAM user that has full S3 access (i.e. can perform any S3 actions on any S3 resource within the AWS account). This user has created a bucket and put some files in it. The bucket has a policy which just contains an Allow rule that grants access to a different IAM user, in the same AWS account. Public access is turned off for the bucket.
Should the first user be able to access objects in this bucket? If so, is that because they created the bucket, or because they're in the account that owns the bucket? Is it possible to limit access to a bucket for users within the same AWS account?
S3 is one of the few services with resource policies, in this case they are called bucket policies.
A user in the same account has access to a (S3) resource if
nothing explicitly denies the access AND
either the bucket policy grants access OR the user / entity has a policy attached that grants access
If you wanted to restrict a bucket to a single user / entity you would
need to write a bucket policy that specifies that using a Deny statement for every user except the target one AND
either add a statement to the bucket policy or a policy attached to the user / entity granting access to the bucket.
The standard doc for understanding policy evaluation logic is this. There are other, more complicated ways to achieve your goal using e.g. permission boundaries and SCPs but they are probably overkill in your situation.
I got accidentally locked out of the AWS S3 bucket by not meeting certain conditions. I accidentally set bucket policies that explicitly deny access to any requests outside the allowed IP addresses. Now I am not able to either list objects, view the permissions, or anything inside the bucket and completely locked out of it.
How can I regain access to the bucket?
Here are some of the error screenshots:

You can do this as a root user as explained in the following AWS docs:
I accidentally denied everyone access to my Amazon S3 bucket. How do I regain access?
Usually there is Compute Engine default service account that is created automatically by GCP, this account is used for example by VM agents to access different resources across GCP and by default has role/editor permissions.
Suppose I want to create GCS bucket that can only be accessed by this default service account and no one else. I've looked into ACLs and tried to add an ACL to the bucket with this default service account email but it didn't really work.
I realized that I can still access bucket and objects in this bucket from other accounts that have for example storage bucket read and storage object read permissions and I'm not sure what I did wrong (maybe some default ACLs are present?).
My questions are:
Is it possible to limit access to just that default account? In that case who will not be able to access it?
What would be the best way to do it? (would appreciate a lot an example using Storage API)
There are still roles such as role/StorageAdmin, and actually no matter what ACLs will be put on the bucket I could still access it if I had this role (or higher role such as owner) right?
Thanks!
I recommend you not to use ACL (and Google also). It's better to switch the bucket in uniform IAM policy.
There are 2 bad side of ACL:
New created files aren't ACL and you need to set it everytime that you create a ne file
It's difficult to know who has and who hasn't access with ACL. IAM service is better for auditing.
When you switch to Uniform IAM access, Owner, Viewer, and Editor role no longer have access to buckets (the role/storage.admin isn't included in this primitive role). It could solve in one click all the unwanted access. Else, as John said, remove all the IAM permission on the bucket and the project that have access to the bucket except your service account.
You can control access to buckets and objects using Cloud IAM and ACLs.
For example grant the service account WRITE (R: READ,W: WRITE,O: OWNER) access to the bucket using ACLs:
gsutil acl ch -u service-account#project.iam.gserviceaccount.com:W gs://my-bucket
To remove access of service account from the bucket:
gsutil acl ch -d service-account#project.iam.gserviceaccount.com gs://my-bucket
If There are roles such as role/StorageAdmin in the IAM identities (project level), they will have access to all the GCS resources of the project. You might have to change the permission to avoid them having access.
I have 3 AWS accounts:
S3 Owner
Account A
Account B
I have a bucket owned by the "S3 Owner" account which has a bucket policy on it to allow both the A and B accounts to have full access on the bucket and the object. I also have the ACL setup so that the A and B accounts have full access to the objects too.
I am trying to have either account A or B upload an object to the bucket but allow the other account to copy it. However, I keep getting an access denied exception. I would use a lambda to set the ACL on the object to the same as the bucket (all 3 ACLs) however that would require a lambda running in both account A and B which would have to figure out if it was the owner in order to set the ACL. Is there an easier way to achieve this?
I’m having the same problem with you. I'm seeing that the bucket has full access to those objects. I tried 2 ways to copy the objects uploaded by account B to account A:
Set bucket policy to allow account A to read anything in the bucket - still got access denied exception.
Use assumed role to let account A to read anything in the bucket. - this successfully read objects but it failed copying (since the role I assumed does not write permission to account A).
I'm wondering what is the difference between these two ways of granting across account permission...
When an object is created in / copied to an Amazon S3 bucket owned by another account, it is important to specify:
ACL = bucket-owner-full-control
This 'gives' the object to the account that owns the bucket.
If this is not specified, then the object is (strangely) 'owned' by the source account and (even more strangely) the account that owns the bucket often can't even delete the object from their own bucket!
Also, FYI, to grant access to Accounts A and B, you can simply use a Bucket Policy. There is no need to do anything with the ACLs. (In fact, there is rarely ever any need to play with the ACLs, except for bucket-owner-full-control and making individual objects public with public-read.
I have two accounts, A and B. A has a S3 bucket, B has a lambda function which sends a csv to S3 bucket in account A. I am creating these resources using terraform.
After I login to Account A, I am able to see the file added, but not able to Download or Open the file, it says Access Denied. I see the below in the Properties section of the file.
I did not add any encryption to the file or bucket.
By default, an S3 object is owned by the AWS account that uploaded it. This is true even when the bucket is owned by another account. To get access to the object, the object owner must explicitly grant you (the bucket owner) access.
The object owner can grant the bucket owner full control of the object by updating the access control list (ACL) of the object. The object owner can update the ACL either during a put or copy operation, or after the object is added to the bucket.
Please refer to this guide in order to resolve this issue and apply the required permissions.
It also links to a description how to use a bucket policy to ensure that any objects uploaded to your bucket by another account sets the ACL as "bucket-owner-full-control".
