Amazon S3 IAM User Notes

Setting up S3-bucket-specific IAM users for new sites

This provides a new site with a unique IAM access key/secret that allows read/write access to a single S3 bucket, e.g. to allow a Django site to upload media files. This assumes the bucket itself has already been created.

Note: I originally created this gist as a note-to-self so conventions shown here are particular to my setup; YMMV.

  1. Log in to the AWS Console and head to the IAM section
  2. Click Users to access the IAM user list
  3. Click Add User
  4. Enter username in the format of sitename-s3 (replacing sitename)
