GET Bucket policy
Description
This implementation of the GET
operation uses the policy
subresource to return the policy of a specified bucket. If you are using an identity
other than
the root user of the AWS account that owns the bucket, the calling identity must
have the GetBucketPolicy
permissions on the specified bucket and belong to the bucket owner's account in
order to use this operation.
If you don't have GetBucketPolicy
permissions, Amazon S3 returns a 403 Access
Denied
error. If you have the correct permissions, but you're not using an
identity that belongs to the bucket owner's account, Amazon S3 returns a 405 Method Not
Allowed
error.
Important
As a security precaution, the root user of the AWS account that owns a bucket can always use this operation, even if the policy explicitly denies the root user the ability to perform this action.
For more information about bucket policies, see Using Bucket Policies and User Policies in the Amazon Simple Storage Service Developer Guide.
