The AWS module provides pre-built Flow steps that allow users to store or delete files on the Amazon S3 file storage system found in the Flow Designer via **Toolbox > Integration > Amazon AWS > S3**. For steps requiring the **Region**input, use the region code instead of the region name. Region codes can be found in [AWS documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Concepts.RegionsAndAvailabilityZones.html).Prerequisite: - [Installation](/v9/docs/installing-modules-decisions) of the AWS module. - [Configuration](/v9/docs/setting-up-amazon-webservices-integration) of the AWS module. - Active AWS account and application ### Temporary Credentials / Override Role Credentials Users can now specify temporary credentials to access an S3 bucket: This is done by specifying an IAM user's access key and secret key in Amazon AWS settings, then having a trust relationship between that user and a role that has elevated permissions. The externalID is a unique string that is a condition for the trust relation. Also, all the S3 steps now have a new property: **Override Role Credentials**, where the user can have different temporary credentials than what is specified in [Amazon WebServices Settings](https://documentation.decisions.com/v9/docs/setting-up-amazon-webservices-integration). ![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2025-06-24_14h19_25.png) ##
