Standard S3 Policy

Here’s a standard S3 policy to grant an IAM user access to a bucket within an AWS account. User is allowed to add, update, and delete objects. These 3 actions s3:ListAllMyBuckets, s3:GetBucketLocation, and s3:ListBucket are the additional permissions required to access the console. Also, the s3:PutObjectAcl and the s3:GetObjectAcl actions are required to be able to copy, cut, and paste objects within the console.
