Missing IAM role permissions when adding S3 repository

[mike7891]

Hello, I am trying to set up our S3 repository in Veeam Backup for AWS. I've tried both through the console directly and through Backup and Replication. No matter what I specify for my IAM role, I get the following error: Insufficient IAM role permissions: s3:PutObject, s3:GetObject, s3:DeleteObject, s3:ListBucket, s3:ListBucketVersions, s3:GetBucketVersioning, s3:GetBucketObjectLockConfiguration.

I've confirmed these permissions are present in my role in the AWS console. I directly copied and pasted them from the "Export Missing Permissions" button to verify this. I also tried using the Default Backup Restore role and still get the same error. The default role also has all of these so I'm confused as to why this step isn't validating. For now I've moved on and ignored the error and added the repository anyway, but would like to figure out why that is happening. Thanks.

I checked permissions in the console for the Default Backup Restore role, and they all are status checked Failed and red...but the role exists in AWS and so do the permissions. I created a case #07612612

Hi Mike,

I would suggest working with support on this as this is aimed as a technical assistance forum with general questions (not a support replacement forum). The issue you described requires some more insight and we won't be able to identify exactly what is wrong or misconfigured.
