Question

An IAM user receives an Access Denied message when the user attempts to access objects in an Amazon S3 bucket. The user and the S3 bucket are in the same AWS account. The S3 bucket is configured to use server-side encryption with AWS KMS keys (SSE-KMS) to encrypt all of its objects at rest by using a customer managed key from the same AWS account. The S3 bucket has no bucket policy defined. The IAM user has been granted permissions through an IAM policy that allows the kms:Decrypt permission to the customer managed key. The IAM policy also allows the s3:List* and s3:Get* permissions for the S3 bucket and its objects. Which of the following is a possible reason that the IAM user cannot access the objects in the S3 bucket?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. The correct answer is D. Option D: The KMS key policy has been edited to remove the ability for the AWS account to have full access to the key. AWS KMS manages encryption keys and integrates with most AWS services for encryption at rest.
