Authentication

For private S3 buckets, you will need to allow Felt to assume an IAM role on your account:

• Create a policy that allows listing and reading objects in the S3 buckets where your assets are located. It should be able to perform the following actions:

  • s3:GetObject

  • s3:GetObjectVersion

  • s3:ListBucket

  • s3:GetBucketLocation

• Create an IAM role and attach the aforementioned policy to it.
• Create a Trust Relationship for said role that allows Felt to access your assets. Make sure to include all the principals listed below:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": {
                "AWS": [
                    "arn:aws:iam::949302143999:root",
                    "arn:aws:iam::452667257775:root",
                    "arn:aws:iam::375127086520:root",
                    "arn:aws:iam::033636008376:root"
                ]
