Permissions for IAM user
Certain permissions and roles are required for the IAM user.

IAM user for Source config
We recommend that you create an IAM user where the Validio platform is granted access to the S3 bucket you want to read data from.
The following permissions must be assigned to your IAM user:
s3:GetObjects3:ListAllMyBucketss3:ListBucket
Access key
You must supply an Access key and secret key to authenticate to the S3 bucket.
For more information, refer to Managing access keys for IAM users.
