Bucket Settings

click on Setting.

General Settings

The General Settings section is used to manage the basic configuration and metadata of the bucket.

Basic Information

• Bucket Name: Displays the unique name assigned to the bucket at the time of creation. This name is used to identify and access the bucket.

• Region: Specifies the region where the bucket is hosted. The region determines data locality, latency, and compliance requirements.

• Creation Date: Shows the date on which the bucket was created. This helps in tracking and auditing purposes.

• Versioning: Allows users to enable or disable object versioning.

  • When enabled, multiple versions of the same object are retained.

  • This helps in data recovery, rollback, and protection against accidental deletion or overwrite.

Access Control & Permissions – Bucket Policy

The Bucket Policy section allows users to define fine-grained access control for a bucket using a JSON-based policy. This policy determines who can access the bucket and what actions they are allowed to perform.

Bucket Policy Editor

• Users can write or paste a JSON policy to control access at the bucket or object level.

• The policy supports defining permissions such as read, write, delete, and management actions.

Policy Templates

The Policy Templates option provides predefined policies to simplify access configuration:

• Public Read Allows public read access to all objects in the bucket. Anyone with the object URL can view or download the data.

• Private Restricts access to authenticated users only. No public access is allowed.

• IP Restricted Allows bucket access only from specific IP addresses, improving security by limiting network-based access.

• Cross Account Grants access to users or services from specific external (cross) accounts, enabling controlled data sharing between accounts.

Validate Policy

• The Validate Policy option checks the JSON policy for syntax and logical errors before saving.

• This helps prevent misconfigurations that could cause access issues or security risks.

Save and Reset Options

• Save Changes: Applies the configured bucket policy and enforces the defined access rules.

• Reset Changes: Discards any unsaved modifications and restores the previous configuration.
