Amazon S3

Browse an S3 object or prefix and register it as a logical Space.

An S3 connection separates reusable authentication from the dataset path. Each dataset then selects one object or prefix beneath the authorized location.

Connection fields

ParameterDefaultMeaning
connection namerequiredA workspace-readable name such as mind-news-s3.
credential referencerequiredThe server-managed AWS identity or secret.
regioninferredThe bucket region, for example us-east-2.
allowed locationrequiredThe bucket or prefix this connection may browse.

Dataset fields

Select an exact s3:// object or a prefix ending in /. Browsing a prefix shows its direct child prefixes and supported objects. An object becomes one dataset; a prefix reads its compatible objects as one logical Space.

Permissions

The AWS identity needs only the bucket and object actions required for the selected location. Use a workload role for hosted execution where possible. Do not paste access keys into a pipeline, prompt, exported runner, or Space row.

Preview and register

Test the connection, browse to the resource, preview its format and columns, optionally set a row limit, then register a meaningful Space name.
