Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse/issues/1942

Is possible to use s3fs using an instance role for access without having to give the role access to the root of the bucket? I'd like to mount a folder without having to give the role access to anything else in the bucket. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Hey, I'd like to know as well. The user has access only to one directory in a bucket, but not the root directory. s3cmd works when specifying the directory but it seems s3fs is trying to log-in to the root of the bucket.

@qscacheri, where you able to get this working? I tried tricking it with the servicepath option to add the specific directory to the URL s3fs uses but that didn't seem to work.

Thanks in advance!

@qscacheri @shmuelzon Sorry for my late reply.
I believe this is fixed due to #2087.
If you can, please try it(master branch).
This issue will be closed, but please reopen it if you still have problems.
