Access Specific Bucket through Subuser in S3 Browser
Step 1: Download and Install S3 Browser
Go to the official S3 Browser website and download the application.
Install S3 Browser on your system (Windows).
Open S3 Browser after installation is complete.
Step 2: Get Subuser Credentials from Zata.ai
Log in to the Zata.ai dashboard.
Go to Subusers → Subusers from the left sidebar.
Locate the Subuser you want to connect and open the downloaded credentials file (Access Key and Secret Key).
Note: If the credentials file is lost, a new key must be generated and the old key deleted, as the Secret Key cannot be retrieved again.
On the same Subuser Management page, look under the ASSIGNED BUCKETS column. Make sure to note down the exact name of the bucket assigned to this subuser, as you will need it later.
Step 3: Add a New Account in S3 Browser
Open S3 Browser.
Click on Accounts → Add New Account.
A popup will open: Add New Account.
Step 4: Configure Account Settings
Required Fields
Account Name: Enter any recognizable name for this connection.
Account Type: Select “S3 Compatible Storage”.
REST Endpoint: Enter the Zata.ai S3-compatible endpoint URL (region: Indore).
Access Key ID: Enter the Access Key from the Subuser credentials file.
Secret Access Key: Enter the Secret Key from the Subuser credentials file.
Step 5: Test and Save the Connection
Click on Test Connection to verify the credentials and endpoint are correct.
Once the connection is successful, click Save/OK to add the account.
Step 6: Add the Bucket as an External Bucket
Note: A Subuser does not have permission to list all buckets. The bucket list will appear empty, so the specific bucket must be added manually as an External Bucket.
In S3 Browser, right-click on the buckets (or go to Buckets menu) and select Add External Bucket.
A popup will open asking for the bucket name.
Enter the exact bucket name that was assigned to the Subuser in Zata.ai.
Click Add/OK.
Step 7: Select the Bucket to Access
Click on the bucket name from the list to open it.
The bucket contents (folders/files) will be displayed based on the permission assigned to the Subuser.
Step 8: Perform Actions Based on Assigned Permission
The available actions depend on the permission set for the Subuser on this bucket:
View Only
Browse and download files only
Upload Only
Upload files to the bucket only
View & Upload
Browse, download, and upload files
Full Access
Upload, download, rename, and delete files/folders
Step 9: Troubleshooting Common Connection Issues
Access Denied error: Verify the correct bucket is assigned to the Subuser in Zata.ai.
Connection failed: Re-check the REST Endpoint URL and region (Indore).
Invalid credentials: Re-confirm Access Key and Secret Key are copied correctly with no extra spaces.
Step 10: Final Verification
Confirm the bucket is visible and accessible in S3 Browser.
Confirm actions (view/upload/full access) work as per the assigned permission.
Subuser access through S3 Browser is now successfully configured.
Bucket access via Subuser using S3 Browser (integrated with Zata.ai, S3-compatible) is now successfully completed.
