Is there a way to pass user-specific details (such as user ID or email) when generating the presigned URL to view file in S3?

There are several ways to do this. I prefer to work with Json Web Tokens.

var token = GenerateJwtToken(user);
presignedUrl = presignedUrl + "&token=" + token;

More on this here: https://jwt.io/

When generating an S3 presigned URL, it's important to note that user-specific parameters cannot be directly passed. Instead, AWS S3 supports specific parameters that can be included in the presigned URL request. These allow for more granular control over object retrieval. They are:

Bucket, IfMatch, IfModifiedSince, IfNoneMatch, IfUnmodifiedSince, Key, Range, ResponseCacheControl, ResponseContentDisposition, ResponseContentEncoding, ResponseContentLanguage, ResponseContentType, ResponseExpires, VersionId, SSECustomerAlgorithm, SSECustomerKey, SSECustomerKeyMD5, RequestPayer, PartNumber, ExpectedBucketOwner

Here is a sample code of how to include these parameters in your presigned URL.

import boto3
from botocore.client import Config

# Get the service client with sigv4 configured
s3 = boto3.client('s3', config=Config(signature_version='s3v4'))

# Generate the URL
# URL expires in 3600 seconds
url = s3.generate_presigned_url(
    ClientMethod='get_object',
    Params={
        'Bucket': 'testbucket',
        'Key': 'TestFile.txt',
        'ResponseCacheControl': 'no-cache',
        'ResponseContentType': 'txt',
        'ResponseContentDisposition': 'example.txt'
    },
    ExpiresIn=3600
)

print(url)

You may be able to have this logic setup on the client side where you would determine permissions of the user and send the request to certain Lambda access points.
