Cause

This issue occurs when you don't have permission to read an object that another user uploaded to your bucket. This may happen for any of the following reasons:

• The AWS account that uploaded the applicable object to your bucket owns it and hasn't provided you access to read it.
• You own the applicable object, but the bucket owner permission settings are configured so that you don't have access to read it.
• Your bucket's ACLs are enabled, allowing the uploading user's settings to override your bucket's settings and prevent you from reading the object. See Amazon S3's ACLs documentation for more information.
