Error retrieving a list of your S3 buckets from AWS: Access Denied

getting a similar error:
Error retrieving a list of your S3 buckets from AWS: [curl] 77: [url] https://s3.amazonaws.com/

I added permissions for authenticated users. please help

Nothing resolved on these? Im having the same issue.

The problem here is that the user access key and secret you are using do not have the proper permission to access the bucket, therefore the AWS:Access Denied message.

I believe this has nothing to do with the plugin.

Normally I would create a user with permission to access the buckets I want to manage using wordpress.

NOTE: NEVER give a user more permissions than it requires.

The policies to allow a user to manage a single bucket would look like this (just replace MY_BUCKET_NAME with your actual bucket name):

{
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::*"
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "s3:*",
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::MY_BUCKET_NAME",
                "arn:aws:s3:::MY_BUCKET_NAME/*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}
