AWS S3 Configuration Instructions

This page contains important information about configuring AWS S3 for use with Data Control for Jira.We recommend visiting AWS documentation for information about setting up users and S3 storage:

• Get set up with IAM

• Getting started with Amazon S3 

Data Control for Jira uses AWS Pre-signed URLs to access your S3 storage.

In order for your browser to send files to your S3 storage, you must include your Jira instance URL in the S3 CORS configuration.

The URL will be in the form: https://yourcompany.atlassian.net. 

CORS configuration details example:

        ],
        "AllowedOrigins": [
