I am trying to upload file to S3 but AWS is not allowing. I am owner of this bucket so why it is saying I have no permission?? Very frustrating. I think AWS is bug.

I already set my credentials properly but still not working. See below what I did: yes

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKIAEXAMPLE
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=exampleexample
export AWS_REGION=us-east-1  

Then I run this command:

aws s3 cp myfile.txt s3://my-private-bucket/

But I get this error always:

An error occurred (AccessDenied) when calling the PutObject operation:

User: arn:aws:iam::987654321098:user/rajitpbhartan is not authorized to perform: s3:PutObject on resource: arn:aws:s3:::my-private-bucket/myfile.txt

• amazon-web-services
• amazon-s3

• have you checked bucket policies? or are you sure you copied access key and access key ID correctly like no space? – Jatin Mehrotra Commented Feb 17 at 13:17
• Are you exporting any other AWS environment variables? Specifically AWS_SESSION_TOKEN? If so, remove it from your environment and retry. – jarmod Commented Feb 17 at 17:22
• This is quite odd, since you are receiving three different errors. The first error is saying that your IAM User rajitpbhartan is not authorised to upload the file. It is then saying that it could not locate credentials, but it already used some credentials! The third error typically means that you are using temporary credentials from the Security Token Service rather than credentials from an IAM User. It shouldn't be possible to get all 3 errors at the same time. Are you showing the error exactly as it displays on your screen? Where did you obtain your Access Key and Secret Key? – John Rotenstein Commented Feb 18 at 2:26
• Note on the topic of "I think AWS is bug[ged]" - almost certainly this is a user error, not an AWS error. You just need to work out what error you have made. – jarmod Commented 2 days ago

Try to configure aws access key and secret keys using aws configure command

Here is the command

aws configure --profile default

then provide the access key, secret key, region and format

Using CLI

Run the aws cp command once you done setting up

aws s3 cp myfile.txt s3://my-private-bucket/

Using Python

Python boto3 will consider the key configuration so you can just create boto3 client

import boto3
s3 = boto3.resource('s3')

if you want to explicitly provide aws access key and secret key in your python boto3

import boto3
session = boto3.Session(
    aws_access_key_id=ACCESS_KEY,
    aws_secret_access_key=SECRET_KEY,
    aws_session_token=SESSION_TOKEN
)
