Import data from an AWS S3 bucket

Use the data currently housed in your AWS S3 buckets in ConductorOne. These data storage locations can be added to applications and support those apps with lists of users and entitlements.

ConductorOne automatically syncs with the connected S3 bucket every hour, so data updated in the S3 bucket is reflected in the ConductorOne application.

Availability

General availability. The AWS S3 data source connector is available to all ConductorOne users.

Requirements

When connecting to your AWS environment, you will need:

  • Super Administrator role in ConductorOne
  • Ability to create an IAM Role in AWS
    • ConductorOne uses an IAM Trust relationship between your AWS Account and ConductorOne’s Service AWS Account.
    • This is the AWS-recommended method of sharing access to AWS Accounts. ConductorOne has a specially created and isolated AWS Account dedicated to the AWS integration.
    • For advanced configurations, the only trusted entity should be the following ARN: arn:aws:iam::765656841499:role/ConductorOneS3DatasourceService
