Here are instructions for how to create an Amazon IAM user:
- Create a user in Amazon IAM:

- Save your credentials. You will need to enter these credentials in cloudHQ.
- Attach policy “AmazonS3FullAccess”:


NOTE: If you already have a bucket and you want to limit cloudHQ to access only that bucket, you can apply the policy which has the following permissions:
- list all buckets
- get bucket locations
- full access to the bucket
Here is an example of the policy:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "AllowGroupToSeeBucketList",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
"s3:GetBucketLocation"
],
"Resource": [
"*"
]
},
{
"Sid": "AllowBackupIntoBucket",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"*"
],
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::acme-backup-bucket/*",
"arn:aws:s3:::acme-backup-bucket*"
]
}
]
}
IMPORTANT: Replace acme-backup-bucket with your bucket name
Note that you need to have both “*” and “/*” in resources.
