### Creating an IAM Policy

- Navigate to the IAM dashboard.
- Select **Policies** from the left menu.
- Create a policy using the **Create policy** button.
- Open the **JSON** tab and paste the following policy:
- ```json
{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "screenmeetbucketaccess",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": ["s3:PutObject", "s3:GetObject"],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket-name/*"
        }
    ]
}
```
- Replace `my-bucket-name` with your target S3 bucket name.
- Continue through the setup and name the policy (e.g., *S3 Bucket Access for ScreenMeet*).

### Creating an IAM User

- Navigate to the IAM dashboard.
- Select **Users** and click **Add user**.
- Name the user (e.g., *IntegrationUser*).
- Select **Access key** as the credential type.
- Attach the policy created earlier by selecting **Attach existing policies directly** and checking the box.
- Click **Create user**.
- Record the **Access key ID** and **Secret access key**. Download the CSV for future use.

### Integrating the Bucket and IAM User

- Navigate to **Organization → Settings and Policies → AWS S3 File Storage** in the ScreenMeet console.
- Enter your S3 bucket name and region (e.g., `us-east-1`).
- Enter the IAM user’s **Access key ID**.
- Enter the IAM user’s **Secret access key**.
- Click **Save configuration** and then **Test bucket access**.
- After a successful test, all new recordings will be stored in the specified S3 bucket.

### File Storage Path Format

Files uploaded by ScreenMeet follow this structure:

```markup
<prefix>/<year>/<month>/<day>/<session_id>
```

### Conclusion

Once configured, ScreenMeet will securely upload all applicable session files to your AWS S3 bucket following your organization’s retention and compliance policies.
