Alternative ways for Uploading files into AWS S3 Bucket through UiPath

[vinoth07 (Vinothkumar)]

For one of the projects, we need to upload PDF files from a local folder to an AWS S3 bucket. To utilize UiPath AWS activities, IAM instance roles need to be created for the bot account. However, due to security constraints, the IT team is not prepared to provide the IAM role and access key/secret key for the bot account to access and upload the PDFs to the AWS S3 bucket.

Are there any alternative methods to upload the files to AWS S3 through UiPath?

Just in case if it help others, I have resolved the issue… We starts with full rights admin and then taking rights out one by one until a suitable level of rights is reached. We were able to access the objects with following rights: “s3:GetObjectVersionTorrent”, “s3:GetObjectAcl”, “s3:GetObject”, “s3:GetObjectTorrent”, “s3:GetObjectRetention”, “s3:GetObjectVersionTagging”, “s3:GetObjectVersionAcl”, “s3:GetObjectTagging”, “s3:GetObjectVersionForReplication”, “s3:GetObjectLegalHold”, …

@lrtetala , Thanks for sharing! I have checked the code but still we need access key and secret key for uploading files to the S3 bucket.

Is there any way to upload files into AWS S3 bucket without Access Key and Secret Key. Please suggest if there any any other work around for the same ?
