When I try to upload a picture to a "Car" object I'm denied access to S3. But the site images that are in the assets folder have displayed just fine since I added S3. The specific error that I get is this:

With "part of secret key" obviously redacted. I've tried creating a different user and using new keys, but that hasn't worked. Not where to go from here.
app/uploaders/picture_uploader
class PictureUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
include CarrierWave::MiniMagick
process resize_to_limit: [400, 400]
if Rails.env.production?
storage :fog
else
storage :file
end
# Override the directory where uploaded files will be stored.
# This is a sensible default for uploaders that are meant to be mounted:
def store_dir
"uploads/#{model.class.to_s.underscore}/#{mounted_as}/#{model.id}"
end
# Add a white list of extensions which are allowed to be uploaded.
def extension_white_list
%w(jpg jpeg gif png)
end
end
carrier_wave.rb
if Rails.env.production?
CarrierWave.configure do |config|
config.fog_credentials = {
# Configuration for Amazon S3
:provider => 'AWS',
:aws_access_key_id => ENV['S3_ACCESS_KEY'],
:aws_secret_access_key => ENV['S3_SECRET_KEY']
}
config.fog_directory = ENV['S3_BUCKET']
end
end
I believe that's all of the relevant files, let me know if there's more to see. Not sure if specifying a region or a power user would help, doesn't seem like it would.
[EDIT: I'd default to the other answer at this point, especially if you're in a prod environment. This was a workaround that worked for me while building a breakable toy a few years back, but I agree with granting minimal permissions when security is a concern.]
I was encountering the same error, and the solution was to attach administrative access policies from the AWS Management Console:
1) Sign in to the AWS Management Console at http://aws.amazon.com/iam/
2) Click "Policies" from the Navigation Pane on the left
3) Select the "AdministratorAccess" policy
4) Click Policy Actions > Attach at the top of the page
5) Select the user associated with my S3_ACCESS_KEY, S3_SECRET_KEY, and S3_BUCKET
6) Click "Attach Policy"
Merely granting all permissions from my bucket at https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/home was not sufficient.
