Download Objects From S3 Bucket Cli
Anette Fujita
I got accidentally locked out of the AWS S3 bucket by not meeting certain conditions. I accidentally set bucket policies that explicitly deny access to any requests outside the allowed IP addresses. Now I am not able to either list objects, view the permissions, or anything inside the bucket and completely locked out of it.
S3 Object Ownership is an Amazon S3 bucket-level setting that you can use to control ownershipof objects uploaded to your bucket and to disable or enable access control lists (ACLs). By default, Object Ownership is set to the Bucketowner enforced setting and all ACLs are disabled. When ACLs are disabled, the bucket ownerowns all the objects in the bucket and manages access to data exclusively using accessmanagement policies.
A majority of modern use cases in Amazon S3 no longer require the use of ACLs, and we recommendthat you keep ACLs disabled except in unusual circumstances where you must control access for eachobject individually. With ACLs disabled, you can use policies to more easily control access to every object in your bucket, regardlessof who uploaded the objects in your bucket.
For the majority of modern use cases in S3, we recommend that you keep ACLs disabled byapplying the Bucket owner enforced setting and using your bucket policy to share data withusers outside of your account as needed. This approach simplifies permissions management.You can disable ACLs on both newly created and already existing buckets. For newly createdbuckets, ACLs are disabled by default. In the case of an existing bucket that already hasobjects in it, after you disable ACLs, the object and bucket ACLs are no longer part of anaccess evaluation, and access is granted or denied on the basis of policies. For existingbuckets, you can re-enable ACLs at any time after you disable them, and your preexistingbucket and object ACLs are restored.
Before you disable ACLs, we recommend that you review your bucket policy to ensure that itcovers all the ways that you intend to grant access to your bucket outside of your account. After youdisable ACLs, your bucket accepts only PUT requests that do not specify an ACL orPUT requests with bucket owner full control ACLs, such as thebucket-owner-full-control canned ACL or equivalent forms of this ACLexpressed in XML. Existing applications that support bucket owner full control ACLs see noimpact. PUT requests that contain other ACLs (for example, custom grants tocertain AWS accounts) fail and return a 400 error with the error codeAccessControlListNotSupported.
In contrast, a bucket with the Bucket owner preferred setting continues to accept andhonor bucket and object ACLs. With this setting, new objects that are written with thebucket-owner-full-control canned ACL are automatically owned by the bucketowner rather than the object writer. All other ACL behaviors remain in place. To require allAmazon S3 PUT operations to include the bucket-owner-full-controlcanned ACL, you can add a bucketpolicy that allows only object uploads using this ACL.
To see which Object Ownership settings are applied to your buckets, you can useAmazon S3 Storage Lens metrics. S3 Storage Lens is a cloud-storage analytics feature that you can use to gain organization-wide visibility into object-storage usage and activity. For more information, see Using S3 Storage Lens to find Object Ownership settings.
When the Bucket owner enforced setting for Object Ownership is applied, ACLs are disabled and you automatically own and take fullcontrol over every object in the bucket without taking any additional actions. Bucket owner enforced is the default setting for all newly created buckets. After the Bucket owner enforced setting is applied, you will see three changes:
All bucket ACLs and object ACLs are disabled, which gives full access to you,as the bucket owner. When you perform a read ACL request on your bucket orobject, you will see that full access is given only to the bucket owner.
ACLs no longer affect access permissions to your bucket. As a result, accesscontrol for your data is based on policies, such as IAM policies, S3 bucketpolicies, VPC endpoint policies, and Organizations SCPs.
New objects can be uploaded to your bucket only if they use bucket owner full controlACLs or don't specify an ACL. Object uploads fail if they specify any other ACL. Formore information, see Troubleshooting.
Because the following example PutObject operation using the AWS Command Line Interface(AWS CLI) includes the bucket-owner-full-control canned ACL, the object canbe uploaded to a bucket with disabled ACLs.
If other AWS accounts need access to objects after uploading, you must grantadditional permissions to those accounts through bucket policies. For moreinformation, see Example walkthroughs:Managing access to your Amazon S3 resources.
You can re-enable ACLs by changing from the Bucket owner enforced setting toanother Object Ownership setting at any time. If you used object ACLs forpermissions management before you applied the Bucket owner enforced setting and youdidn't migrate these object ACL permissions to your bucket policy, after youre-enable ACLs, these permissions are restored. Additionally, objects written to thebucket while the Bucket owner enforced setting was applied are still owned by thebucket owner.
For example, if you change from the Bucket owner enforced setting back to the Objectwriter setting, you, as the bucket owner, no longer own and have full control over objectsthat were previously owned by other AWS accounts. Instead, the uploading accountsagain own these objects. Objects owned by other accounts use ACLs for permissions,so you can't use policies to grant permissions to these objects. However, you, asthe bucket owner, still own any objects that were written to the bucket while theBucket owner enforced setting was applied. These objects are not owned by the objectwriter, even if you re-enable ACLs.
If your bucket ACLs grant read or write permissions to others outside of your account, youmust migrate these permissions to your bucket policy before you can apply the Bucketowner enforced setting. If you don't migrate bucket ACLs that grant read or writeaccess outside of your account, your request to apply the Bucket owner enforcedsetting fails and returns the InvalidBucketAclWithObjectOwnershiperror code.
For example, if you want to disable ACLs for a bucket that receives server accesslogs, you must migrate the bucket ACL permissions for the S3 log delivery group tothe logging service principal in a bucket policy. For more information, see Grant access totheS3 log delivery group for server access logging.
If you want the object writer to maintain full control of the object that theyupload, object writer is the best Object Ownership setting for your use case. Ifyou want to control access at the individual object level, bucket owner preferred isthe best choice. These use cases are uncommon.
To identify Amazon S3 requests that required ACLs for authorization, you can use theaclRequired value in Amazon S3 server access logs or AWS CloudTrail. If therequest required an ACL for authorization or if you have PUT requeststhat specify an ACL, the string is Yes. If no ACLs were required, or ifyou are setting a bucket-owner-full-control canned ACL, or if therequests are allowed by your bucket policy, the aclRequired valuestring is "-" in Amazon S3 server access logs and is absent in CloudTrail. Formore information about the expected aclRequired values, see aclRequired values for common Amazon S3requests.
If you have PutBucketAcl or PutObjectAcl requests with headersthat grant ACL-based permissions, with the exception of thebucket-owner-full-control canned ACL, you must remove those headersbefore you can disable ACLs. Otherwise, your requests will fail.
After you apply the Bucket owner enforced setting to disable ACLs, new objects canbe uploaded to your bucket only if the request uses bucket owner full control ACLsor doesn't specify an ACL. Before disabling ACLs, review your bucket policy forACL-related condition keys.
If your bucket policy uses an ACL-related condition key to require thebucket-owner-full-control canned ACL (for example,s3:x-amz-acl), you don't need to update your bucket policy. Thefollowing bucket policy uses the s3:x-amz-acl to require thebucket-owner-full-control canned ACL for S3 PutObjectrequests. This policy still requires the objectwriter to specify the bucket-owner-full-control canned ACL. However,buckets with ACLs disabled still accept this ACL, so requests continue to succeedwith no client-side changes required.
However, if your bucket policy uses an ACL-related condition key that requires adifferent ACL, you must remove this condition key. This example bucket policyrequires the public-read ACL for S3 PutObject requests andtherefore must be updated before disabling ACLs.
By default, all new buckets are created with the Bucket owner enforced setting applied andACLs are disabled. We recommend keeping ACLs disabled. As a general rule, we recommendusing S3 resource-based policies (bucket policies and access point policies) or IAMpolicies for access control instead of ACLs. Policies are a simplified and more flexibleaccess control option. With bucket policies and access point policies, you can definerules that apply broadly across all requests to your Amazon S3 resources.
When you use S3 replication and the source and destination buckets are owned bydifferent AWS accounts, you can disable ACLs (with the Bucket owner enforced settingfor Object Ownership) to change replica ownership to the AWS account that owns thedestination bucket. This setting mimics the existing owner override behavior without theneed of the s3:ObjectOwnerOverrideToBucketOwner permission. All objectsthat are replicated to the destination bucket with the Bucket owner enforced setting areowned by the destination bucket owner. For more information about the owner overrideoption for replication configurations, see Changing the replica owner.
With Amazon S3 bucket policies, you can secure access to objects in your buckets, so that only users with the appropriate permissions can access them. You can even prevent authenticated users without the appropriate permissions from accessing your Amazon S3 resources.
