GetBucketPolicy

Returns the policy of a specified bucket

If you are using an identity other than the root user of the Petabox account that owns the bucket, the calling identity must have the GetBucketPolicy permissions on the specified bucket and belong to the bucket owner's account in order to use this operation.

If you don't have GetBucketPolicy permissions, Petabox returns a 403 Access Denied error. If you have the correct permissions, but you're not using an identity that belongs to the bucket owner's account, Petabox returns a 405 Method Not Allowed error.

Important

To ensure that bucket owners don't inadvertently lock themselves out of their own buckets, the root principal in a bucket owner's Petabox account can perform the GetBucketPolicy, PutBucketPolicy, and DeleteBucketPolicy API actions, even if their bucket policy explicitly denies the root principal's access.
