AWS - Credentials

This page describes how to create an AWS - Credentials data source. This data source stores the credentials required to access Amazon S3 and can be reused across multiple S3 integration tasks.

Use Cases

• Manage one set of AWS Access Key and Secret Key credentials for multiple S3 import tasks
• Avoid re-entering the same S3 access credentials in every task
• Update credentials centrally when they are rotated

Create AWS - Credentials

1. Navigate to Data > Data Sources and click Create Data Source.
2. Select AWS - Credentials as the service type, then fill in the credentials:

Field	Required	Description
Name	Yes	A descriptive name for this data source
Access Key	Yes	AWS Access Key ID
Secret Key	Yes	AWS Secret Access Key

3. Click Test Connectivity to validate the credentials. If the test succeeds, click OK to save the data source.

Permission Requirements

The AWS credentials must have read access to the target S3 bucket. If downstream tasks will enable Clean Up Original Files, the credentials must also have write and delete permissions.

Next Steps

After creating this data source, you can use it to create an Amazon S3 Integration Task.
