If you've chosen to send your organization's data to an S3 bucket through the BI Connector, you'll need to enter the authentication information to set up the connection. You can configure these settings in the Dev Center.
Note: Customers with existing S3 connections before November 2021 will appear on this page. However, if you use access keys and secret keys for authentication, you'll need to switch to an IAM role before you can make any changes. Click here for more information.

IAM Role vs. secret keys
Identity Access Management (or IAM) is AWS's standard for managing permissions and access to their storage solutions. Previously, users could provide S3 access keys and secret keys to authorize access. However, as the industry has evolved, secret keys have been replaced by role-based access through IAM.
To authenticate the BI Connector in your S3 bucket, you'll need to create a bucket policy to authorize Greenhouse's role. Click here for more information on adding a bucket policy in your S3 console.
The ARN for Greenhouse's role is included in the bucket policy outlined above.
