Error in parse_aws_s3_response, Forbidden (http 403)

Question

I a I'm trying to use aws.s3 library to load data into S3. Below is my code below:

Sys.setenv("AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID" = ".............",
       "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY" = "...............",
       "AWS_DEFAULT_REGION" = "......") 

view bucket:

get_bucket(bucket = "....",
           check_region = FALSE,
           verbose = TRUE)

The code above works and contents of the bucket is returned.

save object to s3:

s3save(data, 
       object = ".....",
       bucket = ".....")

Error return:

Any solution to this problem.

It seems like your IAM account is not authorized to do that operation. If you're the owner of the AWS account, you can go to AWS Service IAM, click on users, choose this IAM user and add the necessary authorizations to it.
