AWS S3 Bucket Permissions - Access Denied

Question

I am trying to give myself permission to download existing files in an S3 bucket. I\'ve modified the Bucket Policy, as follows:

        {
        \"Sid\": \"         


        

Answer 1

Giving public access to Bucket to add policy is NOT A RIGHT way. This exposes your bucket to public even for a short amount of time.

You will face this error even if you are admin access (Root user will not face it) According to aws documentation you have to add "PutBucketPolicy" to you IAM user.

So Simply add a S3 Policy to you IAM User as in below screenshot , mention your Bucket ARN for make it safer and you don't have to make you bucket public again.
