Amazon S3 Public Buckets issue

I was getting an annoying error and I couldn’t figure out what the issue was.

The error was:

Action does not apply to any resource(s) in statement

I already allowed the bucket to be viewed publically and I tried to add the policy under Permissions.

I used the Policy Generator

• Changed the Type of Policy to S3 Bucket Policy
• Allow
• Principal I added * to allow all – wildcard
• In the Actions dropdown, I selected GetObject
• in ARN I copied and pasted the Resource id from the Edit Bucket Policy page.

{
  "Id": "PolicyNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN",
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "StmtNNNNNNNNNNNNNN",
      "Action": [
        "s3:GetObject"
      ],
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name-here",
      "Principal": "*"
    }
  ]
}

This is where I got stuck as it was not working. My static HTML site was not showing.

The policy does not add the /* after the resource address.

The resource should look like this:

"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name-here/*",
