AutomatR.AWS.SetBucketPolicy
The "Set Bucket Policy" activity in AutomatR is part of the AWS S3 activities package, allowing users to set the policy for a specific bucket in Amazon S3. This activity provides flexibility in managing access control to S3 buckets by defining custom policies in JSON format.

How to use:
- Drag and drop the "Set Bucket Policy" activity onto the workflow.
- Configure the properties by providing the access key ID, secret access key, region, bucket name, and the desired bucket policy in JSON format.
- Optionally, configure the delay for synchronization purposes.
- Execute the workflow to set the specified policy for the chosen S3 bucket.
Example: Consider an example where the "Set Bucket Policy" activity is used to apply a custom access policy to an S3 bucket named "example-bucket":
Set Bucket Policy:
Access Key ID: "your-access-key-id"
Secret Access Key: "your-secret-access-key"
Region: RegionEndpoint.USWest2
Bucket Name: "example-bucket"
Bucket Policy: "{ \"Version\": \"2012-10-17\", \"Statement\": [{ \"Effect\": \"Allow\", \"Action\": \"s3:GetObject\", \"Resource\": [\"arn:aws:s3:::example-bucket/*\"] }] }"
In this example, the activity sets an access policy allowing users to retrieve objects from the "example-bucket" in the US West (Oregon) region.
