Setting up IAM user for Amazon

Hi,

Is this not what you are seeing here – https://updraftplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/FindingIAM.png?

Can you send us a screenshot of the part where you are stuck? You can use online screenshot tools like https://snipboard.io/

Thanks,
Bryle

Thanks Bryle! My problem is with the “Add Permissions” step of the process. The support document looks like this:

but on Amazon it currently looks like this: the choices at the top are the same, but there’s no “JSON” tab… no place that I can see to paste in permissions code directly… just a searchable list of individual permissions:

Thanks,
Adam

Apologies, try this guide: https://letswp.justifiedgrid.com/amazon-s3-wordpress-backups-with-updraftplus/

Thanks! That looks like just what I need.

Maybe add that to the UpdraftPlus FAQs?

Thanks again!

No problem, we are having an overhaul of all of our documentation and this is one of the things on our to do list.

Sounds good. Thanks again!

Got it all set up now – thanks! One last question though: if I want to keep my Amazon S3 storage from just growing constantly, do I just set a “Lifecycle Policy” on the bucket I created there, telling it to delete anything older than 30 days? I’ve set UpdraftPlus to do a full backup weekly, and to keep two, but it seems that it won’t automatically delete previous backups on Amazon S3 by default…?
