Prerequisites

Ensure that you've performed the following prerequisites before adding your Amazon S3 buckets as Microsoft Purview data sources and scanning your S3 data.

Create a Microsoft Purview account

Create a new AWS role for Microsoft Purview

The Microsoft Purview scanner is deployed in a Microsoft account in AWS. To allow the Microsoft Purview scanner to read your S3 data, you must create a dedicated role in the AWS portal, in the IAM area, to be used by the scanner.

This procedure describes how to create the AWS role, with the required Microsoft Account ID and External ID from Microsoft Purview, and then enter the Role ARN value in Microsoft Purview.

To locate your Microsoft Account ID and External ID:

  1. To locate credentials:

  2. Select New to create a new credential.

    In the New credential pane that appears, in the Authentication method dropdown, select Role ARN.

    Then copy the Microsoft account ID and External ID values that appear to a separate file, or have them handy for pasting into the relevant field in AWS. For example:

    Locate your Microsoft account ID and External ID values.

To create your AWS role for Microsoft Purview:

  1. Open your Amazon Web Services console, and under Security, Identity, and Compliance, select IAM.

  2. Select Roles and then Create role.

  3. Select Another AWS account, and then enter the following values:

    Field Description
    Account ID Enter your Microsoft Account ID. For example: 181328463391
    External ID Under options, select Require external ID..., and then enter your External ID in the designated field.
    For example: e7e2b8a3-0a9f-414f-a065-afaf4ac6d994

    For example:

    Add the Microsoft Account ID to your AWS account.

  4. In the Create role > Attach permissions policies area, filter the permissions displayed to S3. Select AmazonS3ReadOnlyAccess. If you also want to be able to apply protection policies, add these permissions also:

    • GetBucketLocation
    • GetBucketPublicAccessBlock
    • GetObject
    • PutBucketPolicy
    • PutObjectTagging
    • DeleteBucketPolicy
    • List Bucket

    Select the ReadOnlyAccess policy for the new Amazon S3 scanning role.

    Important

    The AmazonS3ReadOnlyAccess policy provides minimum permissions required for scanning your S3 buckets, and may include other permissions as well.

    To apply only the minimum permissions required for scanning your buckets, create a new policy with the permissions listed in Minimum permissions for your AWS policy, depending on whether you want to scan a single bucket or all the buckets in your account.

    Apply your new policy to the role instead of AmazonS3ReadOnlyAccess.

  5. Select Next: Tags.

  6. In the Add tags (optional) area, you can optionally choose to create a meaningful tag for this new role. Useful tags enable you to organize, track, and control access for each role you create.

    If you also want to be able to apply protection policies, add a tag with the key: msftpurview_allowlisted and the value true.

    Enter a new key and value for your tag as needed. When you're done, or if you want to skip this step, select Next: Review to review the role details and complete the role creation.

    Add a meaningful tag to organize, track, or control access for your new role.

  7. In the Review area, do the following:

    • In the Role name field, enter a meaningful name for your role
    • In the Role description box, enter an optional description to identify the role's purpose
    • In the Policies section, confirm that the correct policy (AmazonS3ReadOnlyAccess) is attached to the role.

    Then select Create role to complete the process. For example:

    Review details before creating your role.

Extra required configurations:

Create a Microsoft Purview credential for your AWS S3 scan

This procedure describes how to create a new Microsoft Purview credential to use when scanning your AWS buckets.

Tip

If you're continuing directly on from Create a new AWS role for Microsoft Purview, you may already have the New credential pane open in Microsoft Purview.

You can also create a new credential in the middle of the process, while configuring your scan. In that case, in the Credential field, select New.

  1. In Microsoft Purview, go to the Management Center, and under Security and access, select Credentials.

  2. Select New, and in the New credential pane that appears on the right, use the following fields to create your Microsoft Purview credential:

    Field Description
    Name Enter a meaningful name for this credential.
    Description Enter an optional description for this credential, such as Used to scan the tutorial S3 buckets
    Authentication method Select Role ARN, since you're using a role ARN to access your bucket.
    Role ARN Once you've created your Amazon IAM role, navigate to your role in the AWS IAM area, copy the Role ARN value, and enter it here. For example: arn:aws:iam::181328463391:role/S3Role.

    For more information, see Retrieve your new Role ARN.

    The Microsoft account ID and the External ID values are used when creating your Role ARN in AWS..

  3. Select Create when you're done to finish creating the credential.

For more information about Microsoft Purview credentials, see Credentials for source authentication in Microsoft Purview.

Configure scanning for encrypted Amazon S3 buckets

AWS buckets support multiple encryption types. For buckets that use AWS-KMS encryption, special configuration is required to enable scanning.

Note

For buckets that use no encryption, AES-256 or AWS-KMS S3 encryption, skip this section and continue to Retrieve your Amazon S3 bucket name.

To check the type of encryption used in your Amazon S3 buckets:

  1. In AWS, navigate to Storage > S3 > and select Buckets from the menu on the left.

    Select the Amazon S3 Buckets tab.

  2. Select the bucket you want to check. On the bucket's details page, select the Properties tab and scroll down to the Default encryption area.

    • If the bucket you selected is configured for anything but AWS-KMS encryption, including if default encryption for your bucket is Disabled, skip the rest of this procedure and continue with Retrieve your Amazon S3 bucket name.

    • If the bucket you selected is configured for AWS-KMS encryption, continue as described below to add a new policy that allows for scanning a bucket with custom AWS-KMS encryption.

    For example:

    View an Amazon S3 bucket configured with AWS-KMS encryption

To add a new policy to allow for scanning a bucket with custom AWS-KMS encryption:

  1. In AWS, navigate to Services > IAM > Policies, and select Create policy.

  2. On the Create policy > Visual editor tab, define your policy with the following values:

    Field Description
    Service Enter and select KMS.
    Actions Under Access level, select Write to expand the Write section.
    Once expanded, select only the Decrypt option.
    Resources Select a specific resource or All resources.

    When you're done, select Review policy to continue.

    Create a policy for scanning a bucket with AWS-KMS encryption.

  3. On the Review policy page, enter a meaningful name for your policy and an optional description, and then select Create policy.

    The newly created policy is added to your list of policies.

  4. Attach your new policy to the role you added for scanning.

    1. Navigate back to the IAM > Roles page, and select the role you added earlier.

    2. On the Permissions tab, select Attach policies.

      On your role's Permissions tab, select Attach policies.

    3. On the Attach Permissions page, search for and select the new policy you created above. Select Attach policy to attach your policy to the role.

      The Summary page is updated, with your new policy attached to your role.

      View an updated Summary page with the new policy attached to your role.

Confirm your bucket policy access

Make sure that the S3 bucket policy doesn't block the connection:

  1. In AWS, navigate to your S3 bucket, and then select the Permissions tab > Bucket policy.
  2. Check the policy details to make sure that it doesn't block the connection from the Microsoft Purview scanner service.

Confirm your SCP policy access

Make sure that there's no SCP policy that blocks the connection to the S3 bucket.

For example, your SCP policy might block read API calls to the AWS Region where your S3 bucket is hosted.

  • Required API calls, which must be allowed by your SCP policy, include: AssumeRole, GetBucketLocation, GetObject, ListBucket, GetBucketPublicAccessBlock.
  • Your SCP policy must also allow calls to the us-east-1 AWS Region, which is the default Region for API calls. For more information, see the AWS documentation.

Follow the SCP documentation, review your organization’s SCP policies, and make sure all the permissions required for the Microsoft Purview scanner are available.

Retrieve your new Role ARN

You'll need to record your AWS Role ARN and copy it in to Microsoft Purview when creating a scan for your Amazon S3 bucket.

To retrieve your role ARN:

  1. In the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) > Roles area, search for and select the new role you created for Microsoft Purview.

  2. On the role's Summary page, select the Copy to clipboard button to the right of the Role ARN value.

    Copy the role ARN value to the clipboard.

In Microsoft Purview, you can edit your credential for AWS S3, and paste the retrieved role in the Role ARN field. For more information, see Create a scan for one or more Amazon S3 buckets.

Retrieve your Amazon S3 bucket name

You'll need the name of your Amazon S3 bucket to copy it in to Microsoft Purview when creating a scan for your Amazon S3 bucket

To retrieve your bucket name:

  1. In AWS, navigate to Storage > S3 > and select Buckets from the menu on the left.

    View the Amazon S3 Buckets tab.

  2. Search for and select your bucket to view the bucket details page, and then copy the bucket name to the clipboard.

    For example:

    Retrieve and copy the S3 bucket URL.

    Paste your bucket name in a secure file, and add an s3:// prefix to it to create the value you'll need to enter when configuring your bucket as a Microsoft Purview account.

    For example: s3://purview-tutorial-bucket

Tip

Only the root level of your bucket is supported as a Microsoft Purview data source. For example, the following URL, which includes a sub-folder is not supported: s3://purview-tutorial-bucket/view-data

However, if you configure a scan for a specific S3 bucket, you can select one or more specific folders for your scan. For more information, see the step to scope your scan.

Locate your AWS account ID

You'll need your AWS account ID to register your AWS account as a Microsoft Purview data source, together with all of its buckets.

Your AWS account ID is the ID you use to sign in to the AWS console. You can also find it once you're logged in on the IAM dashboard, on the left under the navigation options, and at the top, as the numerical part of your sign-in URL:

For example:

Retrieve your AWS account ID.

Add a single Amazon S3 bucket as a Microsoft Purview account

Use this procedure if you only have a single S3 bucket that you want to register to Microsoft Purview as a data source, or if you have multiple buckets in your AWS account, but don't want to register all of them to Microsoft Purview.

To add your bucket:

  1. In Microsoft Purview, go to the Data Map, and select Data sources > Register > Amazon S3 > Continue.

    For more information, see the Understand Data Estate Insights in Microsoft Purview.

Minimum permissions for your AWS policy

The default procedure for creating an AWS role for Microsoft Purview to use when scanning your S3 buckets uses the AmazonS3ReadOnlyAccess policy.

The AmazonS3ReadOnlyAccess policy provides minimum permissions required for scanning your S3 buckets, and might include other permissions as well.

To apply only the minimum permissions required for scanning your buckets, create a new policy with the permissions listed in the following sections, depending on whether you want to scan a single bucket or all the buckets in your account.

Apply your new policy to the role instead of AmazonS3ReadOnlyAccess.

Individual buckets

When scanning individual S3 buckets, minimum AWS permissions include:

  • GetBucketLocation
  • GetBucketPublicAccessBlock
  • GetObject
  • ListBucket

Make sure to define your resource with the specific bucket name. For example:

{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:GetBucketLocation",
                "s3:GetBucketPublicAccessBlock",
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:ListBucket"
            ],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::<bucketname>"
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:GetObject"
            ],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3::: <bucketname>/*"
        }
    ]
}

All buckets in your account

When scanning all the buckets in your AWS account, minimum AWS permissions include:

  • GetBucketLocation
  • GetBucketPublicAccessBlock
  • GetObject
  • ListAllMyBuckets
  • ListBucket.

Make sure to define your resource with a wildcard. For example:

{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:GetBucketLocation",
                "s3:GetBucketPublicAccessBlock",
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
                "s3:ListBucket"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:GetObject"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

Troubleshooting

Scanning Amazon S3 resources requires creating a role in AWS IAM to allow the Microsoft Purview scanner service running in a Microsoft account in AWS to read the data.

Configuration errors in the role can lead to connection failure. This section describes some examples of connection failures that might occur while setting up the scan, and the troubleshooting guidelines for each case.

If all of the items described in the following sections are properly configured, and scanning S3 buckets still fails with errors, contact Microsoft support.

Note

For policy access issues, make sure that neither your bucket policy, nor your SCP policy are blocking access to your S3 bucket from Microsoft Purview.

For more information, see Confirm your bucket policy access and Confirm your SCP policy access.

Bucket is encrypted with KMS

Make sure that the AWS role has KMS Decrypt permissions. For more information, see Configure scanning for encrypted Amazon S3 buckets.

AWS role is missing an external ID

Make sure that the AWS role has the correct external ID:

  1. In the AWS IAM area, select the Role > Trust relationships tab.
  2. Follow the steps in Create a new AWS role for Microsoft Purview again to verify your details.

Error found with the role ARN

This is a general error that indicates an issue when using the Role ARN. For example, you may want to troubleshoot as follows:

  • Make sure that the AWS role has the required permissions to read the selected S3 bucket. Required permissions include AmazonS3ReadOnlyAccess or the minimum read permissions, and KMS Decrypt for encrypted buckets.

  • Make sure that the AWS role has the correct Microsoft account ID. In the AWS IAM area, select the Role > Trust relationships tab and then follow the steps in Create a new AWS role for Microsoft Purview again to verify your details.

For more information, see Can't find the specified bucket,

Can't find the specified bucket

Make sure that the S3 bucket URL is properly defined:

  1. In AWS, navigate to your S3 bucket, and copy the bucket name.
  2. In Microsoft Purview, edit the Amazon S3 data source, and update the bucket URL to include your copied bucket name, using the following syntax: s3://<BucketName>

Protection policy

Protection access control policies (protection policies) enable organizations to automatically protect sensitive data across data sources. Microsoft Purview already scans data assets and identifies sensitive data elements, and this new feature allows you to automatically restrict access to that data using sensitivity labels from Microsoft Purview Information Protection.

To set up protection policies for Amazon S3 sources, see: How to create protection policies for Amazon S3.
