Configure the Amazon S3 Connector

Connectors facilitate easy connection to data sources, allowing you to upload and download the required documents and perform bulk operations.

The platform allows you to configure the Amazon S3 connector. Configuring the  Amazon S3 connector helps you to link your Amazon S3 (a widely used cloud storage service). It enables seamless interaction between the platform and your designated S3 bucket to facilitate efficient document retrieval.

Users must have the Administrator Policy to configure the S3 Connector. 

This guide will walk you through the steps on how to configure the S3 connector.

1. Head to the Administration module, choose Connections and then click Create New.
   
   
   
   
2. In the Select Connector window that appears, select Amazon S3 Connector.
   
   
   

3. On the Amazon S3 Connector page that appears, enter the following details:
   
   
   • In Connection Name, enter a unique and descriptive name for the S3 connector. 
   • In Access_key_Id, enter the Access key. You need to obtain your AWS Access Key from the AWS Management Console. 
   • In Secret_access_key,  enter the Secret Access key. You can retrieve your AWS Secret key from AWS Management Console.
   • In Region, enter the AWS Region where your S3 bucket is located. For more information about AWS regions, see AWS regions.
     

5. Click Submit.
6. Your S3 Connector is successfully configured to connect to the specified AWS S3 bucket using the provided Access Key, Secret Key and Region. Ensure that you have the necessary permissions for the specified S3 bucket and region to avoid connection issues. 

Note: Keep your Access Key and Secret Key secure and do not share them openly. Regularly review and update your connector settings as needed. For more information about the Access key and Secret key, see Amazon Documentation.
