Getting Access Denied when calling the PutObject operation with bucket-level permission

Question

I followed the example on http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_examples.html#iam-policy-example-s3 for how to grant a user access to just one buck

Answer 1

I was having the same error message for a mistake I made: Make sure you use a correct s3 uri such as: s3://my-bucket-name/

(If my-bucket-name is at the root of your aws s3 obviously)

I insist on that because when copy pasting the s3 bucket from your browser you get something like https://s3.console.aws.amazon.com/s3/buckets/my-bucket-name/?region=my-aws-regiontab=overview

Thus I made the mistake to use s3://buckets/my-bucket-name which raises:

An error occurred (AccessDenied) when calling the PutObject operation: Access Denied
