 * Hi.
 * We configured a bucket on S3, but it seems that there are problems with IAM policy.
   During file upload we got a 403 Forbidden error:

 * These are the policy assigned to the bucket:
 * > {
   >  “Version”: “2012-10-17”, “Statement”: [ { “Action”: [ “s3:GetBucketLocation”,“
   > s3:ListAllMyBuckets” ], “Resource”: “arn:aws:s3:::*”, “Effect”: “Allow” }, {“
   > Action”: [ “s3:ListBucket” ], “Resource”: [ “arn:aws:s3:::tobedeleted-test”],“
   > Effect”: “Allow” }, { “Action”: [ “s3:List*”, “s3:Put*”, “s3:Get*”, “s3:AbortMultipartUpload”,“
   > s3:DeleteObject*” ], “Resource”: [ “arn:aws:s3:::tobedeleted-test”, “arn:aws:
   > s3:::tobedeleted-test/*” ], “Effect”: “Allow” } ] }
 * I tried using the AWS cli with the same IAM user credentials, and I was able 
   to upload files. After configuring the bucket on backend, I see an error message
   on top of configurations page:
 * “Access Denied to Bucket — Looks like we don’t have write access to this bucket.
   It’s likely that the user you’ve provided access keys for hasn’t been granted
   the correct permissions. Please see our Quick Start Guide for instructions on
   setting up permissions correctly.”
 * Is there something wrong with the policy? Should I enable other actions?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi.
 * It seems that the problem was the bucket access status. It must be “Objects can
   be public”.
