To me, one of the most powerful thing of bucket policy is: it allows
you to set permissions for a large number of objects with one
statement. Below is a simple example. You can specify the "Resource"
with a wildcard (or even <bucket>/<obj_prefix>*).
{
"Version":"2008-10-17",
"Statement":[{
"Sid":"AddPerm",
"Effect":"Allow",
"Principal": {
"AWS": "*"
},
"Action":["s3:GetObject"],
"Resource":["arn:aws:s3:::bucket/*"
]
}
]
}
I agree, we don't have to clone that. Similar functionality would be great!!
