Title: IAM Permissions Error Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # IAM Permissions Error * Resolved [Jordan Thompson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jordant1089/) * (@jordant1089) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iam-permissions-error/) * I updated to the latest version and now an error appears instead of the settings page. The error is: * > S3 Policy is Read-Only — You need to go to Identity and Access Management in > your AWS console and manage the policy for the user you’re using for this plugin. > Your policy should look something like the following: > ``` > { > "Version": "2012-10-17", > "Statement": [ > { > "Effect": "Allow", > "Action": "s3:*", > "Resource": "*" > } > ] > } > ``` > * Uploading content still works, I am just unable to edit settings. The IAM settings for the account connecting doing the uploading are: * ``` { "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:ListBucket", "s3:GetBucketLocation", "s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::", "Condition": {} }, { "Action": [ "s3:AbortMultipartUpload", "s3:DeleteObject*", "s3:GetObject*", "s3:PutObject*", "s3:ListMultipartUploadParts", "s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads" ], "Effect": "Allow", "Resource": [ "arn:aws:s3:::/*" ] }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "s3:ListAllMyBuckets", "Resource": "*", "Condition": {} } ] } ``` * Which permissions are checked for? Is there some permission that is missing from the account? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-s3-and-cloudfront/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-s3-and-cloudfront/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 19 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iam-permissions-error/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iam-permissions-error/page/2/?output_format=md) * [guirot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guirot/) * (@guirot) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iam-permissions-error/#post-5548967) * Same problem here. * I can as well upload, but same screen as Jordan…. Tried to create new user in IAM but nothing… * As well, if I delete a file from my media library, it doesn´t delete the files from my bucket. I don´t remember if this was working like this before. Do you know anything about this Jordan? * [guirot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guirot/) * (@guirot) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iam-permissions-error/#post-5548968) * Sorry for the confusion… The files have been deleted too in the bucket…. * Only problem is not the possibility to access the configuration. BTW, I have updated both plugins at the same time: * – Amazon Web Services. – Amazon S3 and Cloud… * [WebBuzz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webbuzz/) * (@webbuzz) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iam-permissions-error/#post-5548975) * Same problem here, both plugins updated. * Worked fine before updating. * Plugin Contributor [Brad Touesnard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bradt/) * (@bradt) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iam-permissions-error/#post-5548986) * Just rolled out a new version with a fix: [https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/1039131/amazon-s3-and-cloudfront](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/1039131/amazon-s3-and-cloudfront) * Also, see [https://github.com/deliciousbrains/wp-amazon-s3-and-cloudfront/issues/168](https://github.com/deliciousbrains/wp-amazon-s3-and-cloudfront/issues/168) * [guirot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guirot/) * (@guirot) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iam-permissions-error/#post-5549006) * Perfect! Thanks! * One question…. Should we disable the plugin and then overwrite those 4 files? * Sorry, I am not very experienced in this…. * Thanks! * [purzlbaum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/purzlbaum/) * (@purzlbaum) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iam-permissions-error/#post-5549116) * Since the update I have the problem, that no image is served from S3. The plugin also sais, that the S3 has read permissions only. I Updated the IAM permissions as mentioned on the options page. What should I do? Roll back to another version? * Plugin Contributor [Iain Poulson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/polevaultweb/) * (@polevaultweb) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iam-permissions-error/#post-5549117) * Hi purzlbaum * Have you updated to 0.7.1? What is your IAM permission policy? * [purzlbaum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/purzlbaum/) * (@purzlbaum) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iam-permissions-error/#post-5549118) * [@polevaultweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/polevaultweb/) it’s like recommended on the options page. All the images on the blog are now broken. 🙁 * [thefashionfraction.com](http://thefashionfraction.com) * Plugin Contributor [Iain Poulson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/polevaultweb/) * (@polevaultweb) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iam-permissions-error/#post-5549119) * This looks like it is to do with the region of the bucket. How long ago was the bucket created? In your AWS console, what does it say as the region of that bucket? * I am working on a fix that it would be great if you test with a zip? * [purzlbaum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/purzlbaum/) * (@purzlbaum) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iam-permissions-error/#post-5549120) * I created it on 28. of October. Since then I changed nothing, expect the IAM permissions. * Yes, I could test it with a zip. Thanks for fixing it. * Plugin Contributor [Iain Poulson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/polevaultweb/) * (@polevaultweb) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iam-permissions-error/#post-5549121) * Cheers! * In your AWS console, what does it say as the region of that bucket? * Can you test with this zip – [http://cl.ly/3O0F233G2v0k](http://cl.ly/3O0F233G2v0k) * You can unzip and upload the folder and overwrite files where necessary. * Let me know how that goes 🙂 * [purzlbaum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/purzlbaum/) * (@purzlbaum) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iam-permissions-error/#post-5549122) * The region is ireland, so it should be EU. * [purzlbaum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/purzlbaum/) * (@purzlbaum) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iam-permissions-error/#post-5549123) * The images are back! Whooop whoop. * Plugin Contributor [Iain Poulson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/polevaultweb/) * (@polevaultweb) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iam-permissions-error/#post-5549124) * Awesome, thanks for testing! * Could you do me a favour and test: * the upload of a new image via the media upload, does that appear on your site and in your bucket? the deletion of that images via the media library, does that remove it from your site and your bucket? * [purzlbaum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/purzlbaum/) * (@purzlbaum) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iam-permissions-error/#post-5549125) * Looks like, that it works too. * Thanks a lot for fixing it so fast!
