Description

https://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/installation/config.html describes AWS S3 configuration, but doesn't enumerate necessary bucket permissions. We've been running with

"s3:PutObject",
"s3:GetObject",
"s3:DeleteObject",
"s3:PutObjectTagging",
"s3:GetObjectTagging",
"s3:DeleteObjectTagging"

but apparently have been getting permission denied warnings on GetBucketAcl since mid-January 2022.

Propose the addition of a minimum bucket permission policy suitable for the average Dataverse installation using S3 storage.

Research direction

Start with the AWS S3 configuration section at guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/installation/config.html and review the listed object permissions alongside the reported GetBucketAcl warning. Document a minimum bucket policy for an average Dataverse S3 installation, including the required actions, and make clear that the configuration covers the reported permission issue.
