# Setting up AWS credentials
Before starting to use s3\_website, you need to create AWS credentials.
## Easy setup
* Go to [AWS IAM console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam)
* Create a new user that has full permissions to the S3 and CloudFront services
* Call `s3_website cfg create` and place the credentials of your new AWS user
into the *s3_website.yml* file
* Read the main documentation for further info
## Limiting the permissions of the credentials
AWS IAM offers multiple ways of limiting the permissions of a user. Below is one
way of configuring the limitations and yet retaining the capability to use all
s3\_website features.
If you know the hostname of your public website (say `my.website.com`), perform the
following steps:
* Create a user that has full permissions to the S3 bucket
* In addition, let the user have full permissions to CloudFront
Here is the IAM Policy Document of the above setup:
```json
{
"Version":"2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Action": [
"cloudfront:*"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": [
"*"
]
},
{
"Action": [
"s3:*"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::my.website.com",
"arn:aws:s3:::my.website.com/*"
]
}
]
}
```
