Setting up Amazon S3 for Inbind ​

Use Amazon S3 when you want AWS-native storage, easy CloudFront integration, and full control over bucket access.

What you will need ​

  • An S3 bucket
  • An IAM user (or role) with permissions to read and write to that bucket
  • An Access Key ID and Secret Access Key for that IAM principal
  • A Public URL for reading the published JSON (either a CloudFront URL or a direct S3 public URL)

Step 1: Create an S3 bucket ​

  1. Open AWS Console → S3
  2. Create a General Purpose Bucket
  3. Note the Bucket name and AWS Region

Step 2: Create access credentials (IAM) ​

  1. Open AWS Console → IAM → Users

  2. Create an IAM user

  3. On the Set permissions step choose Attach policies directly, click Next and finish the user creation (you will set the permissions themselves in a second)

  4. Go to Policies and press Create Policy

    1. Choose JSON Policy editor and insert the snippet below, replacing bucket-name with the Bucket Name. After that give the policy a name (for example, inbind-read-write), and save the policy.
    json
    {
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "ListObjectsInBucket",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": ["s3:ListBucket"],
            "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name"]
        },
        {
            "Sid": "AllObjectActions",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "s3:*Object",
            "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name/*"]
        }
    ]
}

  5. Go back to the Users, click on the user you created before, click Add permissions → Add Permissions → Attach policies directly. Then find the policy you've just created, select it and click Add Policy. Now you have an IAM user that has access to your bucket!

  6. Open the user you have created, click Security Credentials → Create access key → select Other → Create access key. Save the Access Key and Secret Access Key from the last step.

Step 3: Make the content publicly readable (Public URL) ​

In AWS S3 open the bucket you created, and open the Permissions tab. Then:

  1. Block public access (bucket settings) → Edit → Unselect all → Save changes
  2. Bucket policy → Edit. Paste the following snippet, replacing bucket-name with your bucket name, then save changes.
json
{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
      {
        "Sid": "PublicReadGetObject",
        "Effect": "Allow",
        "Principal": "*",
        "Action": "s3:GetObject",
        "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name/*"
      }
    ]
}

Step 4: Fill the fields in Inbind ​

When creating the connection, enter the following:

  • Bucket Name: Your bucket name from Step 1
  • Region: Your bucket AWS Region (for example eu-north-1)
  • Access Key ID and Secret Access Key: The credentials you created in Step 2
  • Public URL: Leave empty
  • Custom Endpoint URL: Leave empty
