Learn how to connect to Amazon WorkDocs

Introduction

Connecting to Amazon WorkDocs is fast to set up and supported as a source connection in Movebot.

Amazon WorkDocs is only supported as a source. Setting it as a destination will throw an error.

Requirements

To connect Movebot to an Amazon WorkDocs you will need:

  • To generate an AWS access key

  • To know the organization ID and region for the site you wish to transfer

Configuration Steps In Amazon

  1. Login to your AWS Management Console and navigate to applications then IAM

  2. Under IAM create a new permissions "migrations" policy and copy over the existing permissions using JSON option.

{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Action": [ "workdocs:Download*", "workdocs:Get*", "workdocs:Describe*", "ds:DescribeDirectories", "ec2:DescribeVpcs", "ec2:DescribeSubnets" ], "Effect": "Allow", "Resource": "*" } ] }

  1. Now create a new "migration" user and assign it our new policy using attach policies directly. Make sure this is the only policy assigned to the new user.

  2. Under your new user's Summary page, on the right create new access key for an application running outside AWS. Note these down to use later.

  3. Go back to the AWS Management Console and under settings on far left go "All services"

  4. Click on "Amazon Workdocs" under Business Applications

  5. Click on the settings on far left and now select "My sites"

  6. Note down your Organization ID and the Amazon region in the url (e.g. us-east-1)

    1. If your Organization ID doesn't show up here - on the top right change your region to where you expect your workdocs to be hosted and repeat steps 5-8.
