In our S3 configuration we have a bucket that ended up without any permissions, which I reckon my colleague deleted.
Now, we cannot read this bucket, I cannot add permissions to it using the management console, selecting grantee and the permission, as it says "Sorry! You do not have permissions to view this bucket.", When I click on "Add Bucket policy", it opens the dialog which says "Loading" and it keeps loading forever.
I've tried to use aws s3 and aws s3api to grand permission and/or delete the bucket with no success.
I want to either delete this bucket or change it's permissions.
EDIT: We also noticed that the bucket has no owner.
In the Amazon S3 Management Console:
Select the bucket (don't click on its name, just click the line it is on)
Go to the Properties pane on the right
Expand the Permissions section
If there is no line displayed, click Add more permissions, then select the Grantee (possibly your account name?) and tick some permission boxes
These permissions are on the Bucket itself.
Permissions to list the contents of an Amazon S3 bucket are normally granted via Identity and Access Management (IAM) rather than a bucket policy. Traditionally, bucket policies are used to grant access to objects within a bucket.
From your description, it appears that there is no bucket policy in place, which is perfectly okay. All new buckets have no bucket policy anyway.
If the above fix doesn't work, you should check your permissions in IAM to see what you are permitted to do in Amazon S3:
Is there a policy granting you access to everything in S3 (s3:*), or at least a policy granting you access to this bucket?
Is there a policy that is explicitly denying access to this bucket? (Deny overrides Allow)

I keep seeing posts that refer to setting a policy and while they mention S3 buckets the policy they are often referring to are IAM policies.
In my case I want to control access to my S3 bucket only by an actual "S3 bucket policy".
My current path is :::mybucket, which has /thing1/ and /thing2/
If I wanted a bucket policy that allows a CLI user the ability to list and get /thing1/* but not /thing2/* how would this be done? I've tried my policy with all kinds of conditions, paths etc but nothing seems to work...
I recently created an S3 bucket on AWS through the console, with the default settigns (except the name, obviously). I try editing the Bucket Policy, but getting this error: "Error Access denied", both with my admin IAM user, and the root account.
How can I get access to edit S3 Bucket policies?
Answering my own question: by default, buckets have the following option set: "Block new public bucket policies". Turning this off will enable updating the Bucket Policy.
I've logged into AWS account as root user. But I'm unable to access some of the buckets in AWS. They are not showing in the S3 Console. I've accessed them by submitting the bucket name in the url
For example let's call the bucket unaccessible-bucket
https://s3.console.aws.amazon.com/s3/buckets/unaccessible-bucket/?region=us-east-1&tab=overview
If I navigates to Permissions > Bucket Policy I'm seeing notice Access denied, I'm unable to download the files. I'm unable to change the policy. I've tried with AWS CLI also.
Can someone please tell me how to edit the policy.
As per our organisation requirement,
We have to add two new IAM users..
For one user...We have to grant access to all buckets including this unaccessible-bucket.
For other user...We have to grant access to only this unaccessible-bucket.
Please check the screenshot
Many Thanks.
Assuming that you are logged into the AWS Console as the root user.
If you cannot see an S3 bucket in the AWS console, then you do not own the bucket and it is owned by another account.
If you can see the bucket in the console then you own the bucket. If you cannot access the contents of the bucket then you will need to edit the S3 Bucket Policy and add the root user as a principal. Replace the account number with your own.
Add this statement (or modify) to your S3 Bucket Policy:
"Principal": { "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:root" }
I was trying few things with aws s3 bucket policy and the documentation for put-bucket-policy says that the user should have PutBucketPolicy on the bucket and should be the owner.
I do not understand the use of PutBucketPolicy permission then.
Also is the bucket owner given a default PutBucketPolicy permission on his bucket?
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/RESTBucketPUTpolicy.html
The confusion here, I suspect, is related to the fact that users don't own buckets. The "owner" of a bucket is an individual AWS account.
You can't successfully grant PutBucketPolicy to any user in a different AWS account -- only your own account's user(s).
There's an illusion of circular logic here: How can I set a bucket policy... allowing myself to set the bucket policy... unless I am already able to set the bucket policy... which would make it unnecessary to set a bucket policy allowing me to set the bucket policy?
This is not as it seems: the problem is resolved by the fact that IAM user policies can grant a user permission to set the bucket policy, and the root account can do this by default -- which is why you should not use your root account credentials routinely: they are too privileged, if they fall into the wrong hands.
When a user has Resource-based permissions to a ressource but does not have User-based permissions for that service. Can he use that service than?
example : user Jack has Resource based permission to use the S3 bucket 'jamm'. But Jack has no permission to use S3. Can Jack use the S3 bucket?
If you don't have permissions to access the S3 service, then you cannot use it at all.
In order to access any S3 bucket, you must have permissions to execute the S3 commands such as s3:GetObject. These permissions tells AWS which commands the user is allowed to execute. Anything not explicitly allowed is automatically denied.
The S3 bucket policy (your resource-level permissions) instruct the S3 service which users are allowed to access the bucket. But that only happens after the user has been given the needed permissions to execute S3 commands with which to access the bucket.
So you need:
Give the user permissions to execute the S3 commands to access the bucket (default is none), and
Give the bucket a policy to restrict the users that can access the bucket (default is anyone in the AWS account)
It is possible to restrict some S3 commands to your bucket, so the user has permission to execute s3:GetObject (for example), but only on your bucket.
But some commands, such as s3:ListAllMyBuckets cannot be restricted this way.
