S3 Bucket action doesn't apply to any resources
From IAM docs, http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_elements.html#Action
Some services do not let you specify actions for individual resources; instead, any actions that you list in the Action or NotAction element apply to all resources in that service. In these cases, you use the wildcard * in the Resource element.
With this information, resource should have a value like below:
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::surplace-audio/*"
Just removing the s3:ListBucket
permission wasn't really a good enough solution for me, and probably isn't for many others.
If you want the s3:ListBucket
permission, you need to just have the plain arn of the bucket (without the /*
at the end) as this permission applies to the bucket itself and not items within the bucket.
As shown below, you have to have the s3:ListBucket
permission as a separate statement from the permissions pertaining to items within the bucket like s3:GetObject
and s3:PutObject
:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:ListBucket"
],
"Principal": {
"AWS": "[IAM ARN HERE]"
},
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket-name"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:GetObject",
"s3:PutObject"
],
"Principal": {
"AWS": "[IAM ARN HERE]"
},
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket-name/*"
}
]
}
Error Action does not apply to any resource(s) in statement
Simply it means that the action (you wrote in policy) doesn't apply to the resource. I was trying to make public my bucket so that anybody can download from my bucket. I was getting error until I remove ( "s3:ListBucket") from my statement.
{
"Id": "Policyxxxx961",
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "Stmtxxxxx4365",
"Action": [
"s3:GetObject",
"s3:ListBucket",
"s3:PutObject"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name/*",
"Principal": "*"
}
]
}
Because list bucket doesn't apply inside the bucket, thus by deleting this action policy worked fine.
