|Name |Type |Description

|actions |array[string] a|For each resource, S3 supports a set of operations. The resource operations allowed or denied are identified by an action list:

  • GetObject - retrieves objects from a bucket.

  • PutObject - puts objects in a bucket.

  • DeleteObject - deletes objects from a bucket.

  • ListBucket - lists the objects in a bucket.

  • GetBucketAcl - retrieves the access control list (ACL) of a bucket.

  • GetObjectAcl - retrieves the access control list (ACL) of an object.

  • ListAllMyBuckets - lists all of the buckets in a server.

  • ListBucketMultipartUploads - lists the multipart uploads in progress for a bucket.

  • ListMultipartUploadParts - lists the parts in a multipart upload.

  • CreateBucket - creates a new bucket.

  • DeleteBucket - deletes an existing bucket.

  • GetObjectTagging - retrieves the tag set of an object.

  • PutObjecttagging - sets the tag set for an object.

  • DeleteObjectTagging - deletes the tag set of an object.

  • GetBucketLocation - retrieves the location of a bucket.

  • GetBucketVersioning - retrieves the versioning configuration of a bucket.

  • PutBucketVersioning - modifies the versioning configuration of a bucket.

  • ListBucketVersions - lists the object versions in a bucket.

  • PutBucketPolicy - puts bucket policy on the bucket specified.

  • GetBucketPolicy - retrieves the bucket policy of a bucket.

  • DeleteBucketPolicy - deletes the policy created for a bucket. The wildcard character "*" can be used to form a regular expression for specifying actions.

|effect |string a|Specifies whether access is allowed or denied. If access (to allow) is not granted explicitly to a resource, access is implicitly denied. Access can also be denied explicitly to a resource, in order to make sure that a user cannot access it, even if a different policy grants access.

|index |integer a|Specifies a unique statement index used to identify a particular statement. This parameter should not be specified in the POST method. A statement index is automatically generated. It is not retrieved in the GET method.

|resources |array[string] a|

|sid |string a|Specifies the statement identifier which contains additional information about the statement.
