Overview
IAM stands for Identity and Access Management. By default, Tigris supplies two
simplified roles that fit the majority of use cases, Read Only and Editor.
In addition to these prebuilt roles, Admin users and bucket owners can also
further customize access controls by crafting IAM policies and attaching them to
access keys. This is a powerful feature that allows you to create fine-grained
access control for your buckets.
Using AWS Tools with Tigris
Because Tigris is S3-compatible, you can continue to use existing AWS S3 IAM policies, CLIs, SDKs, and libraries with Tigris. Custom IAM policies must be defined and set using the AWS CLI, configured with Tigris credentials.
Use cases
Below are some common IAM operations you can perform:
- Create an Access Key
- Attach an IAM Policy
- Detach an IAM Policy
- Limiting Allowed Actions on Buckets
- IP Restrictions
- Date and Time Restrictions
