For ganalyticsbeat, it's probably best to create a seperate IAM user account, without a password and only this sample policy file. Best to limit the access of your user as a security practice.
Below is a sample of what the policy file would look like for the S3 storage. Please note you should replace my-ganalyticsbeat-bucket-name
with your bucket name that you've created in S3.
