​​Amazon S3 storage setup

​
​Overview

​​Amazon S3 is enterprise-level storage. It uses buckets and objects to store files. S3 can be used as a storage for Web Catalogs and Version Control.

​
​Setup

​​The steps for giving access to Connecter for a bucket are:
​​
  1. ​​Create an AWS user for Connecter
  1. ​​Create an Access Key for that AWS user for that Connecter can authenticate
  1. ​​Create an S3 Bucket
  1. ​​For Web Catalogs, configure the bucket to support public access to objects with ACLs (Access Control Lists) enabled.
  1. ​​Create an AWS policy with permissions to access S3 with access to only this bucket. The required permissions so that Connecter can work properly are:
  1. ​​ListBucket
  1. ​​GetObject 
  1. ​​GetObjectAcl 
  1. ​​DeleteObject 
  1. ​​PutObject 
  1. ​​PutObjectAcl 
​​
​​
  1. ​​Assign this AWS policy to the AWS user that Connecter will use
  1. ​​Set up a storage provider for Amazon S3 in https://teamwork.connecterapp.com with the Access Key, Secret Access Key, Bucket Name and AWS region where the bucket is created.
