Answer 1

I'm using Amazon IAM for the particular key ID and access key and just bumped into the same 403 Forbidden... Turns out you need to give permissions that target both the bucket root and its subobjects:

{
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Principal": {
          "AWS": "*"
      },
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": "s3:*",
      "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name/*", "arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name"]
    }
  ]
}
