Understand Bucket Policies
Explore how to create and manage AWS S3 bucket policies in JSON to control access permissions. Learn how to grant actions like get, put, and list on buckets using policies. Discover methods to add and delete bucket policies using the AWS CLI for better resource management.

- Actions: We can provide permission to perform any particular action on an S3 bucket,
