My developer is unable to access my s3 bucket due to a disabled region (how can he enable this region)

Question

My developer continually receives this message when he tries to access our S3 bucket:

![error message when accessing bucket](/media/postImages/original/IMP0Y5bNW_Sk-Xs5JGEXZFlg)

When checking regions we have found that the region of the bucket Cape Town (Africa) is disabled for him.
![region disabled](/media/postImages/original/IMfjzzabZvQJO4KOiadypiag)

I created a policy for him to be able to enable/disable regions:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "ec2:EnableRegion",
                "ec2:DisableRegion"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

But when he goes to the drop down and selects Manage regions, he gets taken to this page:

![Enter image description here](/media/postImages/original/IMRch3wlKtS-iBdeBGZFzc3Q)

Which leads to a request to upload cc info etc.

Other permissions given:

- FullS3Access
- MultiRegion Access

Please help!

Answer

Are you talking about 2 different AWS accounts because regions are enabled at the account level and not for individual IAM users?
