Creating an access point - FSx for ONTAP
Required permissions

Creating an access point

You can create and manage S3 access point that attach to Amazon FSx volumes using the Amazon FSx console, CLI, API, and supported SDKs.

Note

Because you might want to publicize your S3 access point name so that other users can use the access point, avoid including sensitive information in the S3 access point name. Access point names are published in a publicly accessible database known as the Domain Name System (DNS). For more information about access point names, see Access points naming rules.

Required permissions

The following permissions are required to create an S3 access point attached to an Amazon FSx volume:

  • fsx:CreateAndAttachS3AccessPoint

  • s3:CreateAccessPoint

  • s3:GetAccessPoint

The s3:PutAccessPointPolicy permission is required to create an optional Access Point policy using either the Amazon FSx or S3 console. For more information, see IAM access point policies.

To create an access point, see the following topics.
