# Authenticate S3

### Ensure that DataSyncs has correct permissions to access your S3 bucket

We currenty support two authentication methods: 

{% content-ref url="/pages/GYLddmphC2c4KelKHplb" %}
[Use an S3 User](/integrations/datasyncs/connecting-your-warehouse/authenticate-s3/use-an-s3-user.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="/pages/aH9NjA1ThBwHTDH0ywmg" %}
[Use an IAM Role](/integrations/datasyncs/connecting-your-warehouse/authenticate-s3/use-an-iam-role.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

After creating the necessary permissions, you can configure this within the configuration screen in HockeyStack. <br>
