How do I define the principal for an AWS policy statement?

Question

I have created a policy that will grant upload permissions to a certain S3 bucket for a list of users. I started at http://awspolicygen.s3.amazonaws.com/policygen.html.

How can I define the users? I referred to docs it states ‘ a person or persons’ but unclear about how to refer to a person(s). Another assumes ‘email address’ where the policy generator will accept that and then I have pasted the generated statement to the bucket policy editor but I’m getting " Invalid principal in policy - "AWS": "[email protected]" ".

Here is the full statement:

{

  "Id": "myPol",

  "Statement": [

    {

      "Sid": "Stmt130",

      "Action": "s3:*",

      "Effect": "Allow",

      "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::myBucketName",

      "Principal": {

        "AWS": [

          "[email protected]"

        ]

      }

    } ]

}

Please suggest me any solution.

Kindly once again refer the AWS s3 Policy Document and try the following code:

[HttpPost]

public ActionResult Uploaddemo(HttpPostedFileBase file) {

    try {

        IAmazonS3 client;

        using (client = Amazon.AWSClientFactory.CreateAmazonS3Client(_awsAccessKey, _awsSecretKey,RegionEndpoint.USWest2)) {

            var request = new PutObjectRequest() {

                BucketName = _bucketName,

                CannedACL = S3CannedACL.PublicRead, ACCESIBLE

                Key = string.Format("visumes/{0}", file.FileName),

                InputStream = file.InputStream,//SEND THE FILE STREAM

            };

            Amazon.S3.AmazonS3Config s3Config = new Amazon.S3.AmazonS3Config() { 

                ServiceURL = "http://s3.amazonaws.com"  

            };

            string HOST ="http://s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com";

            client.PutObject(request);

        }

    } catch (Exception ex) {

    }

    return View();

}

Hope this helps.
