Amazon S3

Overview

Manage AWS S3 data stores with Appian! Users can access their S3 objects directly from an Appian interface. Appian documents can be uploaded to a S3 bucket with Server-Side Encryption and be configured as Public or Private.
 
The AWS S3 Connected System Plug-in uses the AWS Java SDK to connect to S3.

Key Features & Functionality

  • Create Bucket -- Adds a new bucket to the S3 instance. A bucket is needed in order to store objects (files).
  • Upload File -- Uploads a file to any specified bucket on the S3 instance.
  • Upload Multiple Files -- Uploads multiple files to any specified bucket on the S3 instance.
  • List Buckets -- Returns all available buckets on the S3 instance.
  • List Objects -- Returns all available objects from a specified bucket.
  • Delete Bucket -- Permanently removes a bucket from the S3 instance.
  • Delete Object -- Permanently removes an object from a specified bucket.
  • Cognito Authentication -- Pulls credentials from AWS Cognito Identity Pool.

Requirements

Access Key Id: the access key id for connecting to S3 can be retrieved from AWS Management Console Navigate to the Users > Summary page and click the “Security credentials” tab
Secret Access Key: the secret access key can only be viewed once upon the creation of an access key, see AWS Access Keys documentation for more information: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-sec-cred-types.html#access-keys-and-secret-access-keys

Notes

Users that want to upload objects as 'Public' must have the correct IAM privileges or an "Access Denied" error will return.

S3 endpoints which restrict traffic based on source will need to allow the IP and VPC endpoints outlined in KB-1582 based on site region.

  • Hi Team,

    Post upgrade to 23.2 we are facing issue with Amazon S3 bucket. The connected system seems to be have successful connection but when used in an integration it is throwing below error:

    PFB screenshot of error received. I have also updated plugin to latest version.

    Need inputs on this. Thanks in advance.

  • Do we have have limitations on file size to be transferred? What is the maximum file size that it currently supports?

  • v1.0.6 Release Notes
    • Introduces STS support to the Amazon S3 plugin - Provides users with an additional layer of security and flexibility when accessing S3 resources. With STS, users can grant temporary, limited access to AWS resources, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Users can assume cross-account IAM roles to access S3 resources in different AWS accounts, providing flexibility for organizations with multiple accounts. Overall, this update enhances the security and flexibility of the Amazon S3 plugin for managing and transferring files to and from S3 buckets.
