Why can't I access certain S3 buckets through the AWS Console?

Context When accessing S3 buckets through the AWS Console, you may encounter permission errors when trying to list objects, even with admin access. This often occurs when attempting to access buckets across different tenants. Answer The issue typically arises when you're logged into one tenant but trying to access S3 buckets belonging to another tenant. Here's how to properly access your S3 buckets: Ensure you're accessing the AWS Console through the correct tenant: First select the appropriate tenant before clicking the Console link The tenant name in the URL should match the bucket you're trying to access (e.g., np-usw2 tenant for np-usw2 buckets) Alternatively, you can use one of these methods: Access through the JIT Admin AWS Console from Duplo Use admin JIT access via CLI Access through your profile section If you see an error message like the one below, it's likely you're attempting to access a bucket from the wrong tenant context.
