To configure an automatic data export to an Amazon S3 bucket, follow the steps below.
Log into the AWS Console. Navigate to Identity and Access Management (IAM) and select the Users option.
For security reasons, we recommend creating a new restricted user to access the designated S3 bucket. Use the Create user button to create a new user.
Select the desired user in the Users window, then click on the Security credentials tab and scroll down to the Access Keys section.
There, click Create Access Key to obtain a new Access Key and Secret Access Key.
Copy the user's ARN (AWS unique resource number). The ARN will be required when setting up the permissions on the S3 bucket.
Navigate to https://s3.console.aws.amazon.com/s3/buckets/ to open the S3 configuration section.
Create or select an existing S3 bucket.
In the bucket details pane, create a new folder (optional), and use the Copy URL functionality to get the public URL.
This URL will be required when configuring the Scheduled Data Export in Bucket.
Switch to the Permissions tab of the S3 bucket details window.
Scroll down to the Bucket policy section. Normally, if no other policies have been set up, it will be empty.
Click on Edit and paste the policy below into the editor.
If there are already other statements in the S3 bucket's policy, copy the statement object and paste it into the list.
Replace <user_arn> and <bucket_arn> with the real values from your AWS account.
Following the steps above should give you the URL, Access Key, and Secret Access Key settings required to configure an automatic data export.
