Changing cloud storage credentials and output location

Required dataset permission: Edit dataset settings

For a cloud storage dataset, you can:

  • Update the cloud storage credentials. Note that this option is only available if you provided the credentials manually. If you use the credentials set in environment variables, then you cannot change the credentials.

  • Change the output location for the generated output files

You configure the connection credentials and output location in the Connection Settings section of the Dataset Settings page.

To display the Dataset Settings page, on the dataset details page, click Settings.

After you update the configuration, click Save Dataset.

Changing cloud storage credentials

Amazon S3

To provide updated credentials for Amazon S3:

  1. In the Access Key field, provide an AWS access key that is associated with an IAM user or role. For an example of a role that has the required permissions for an Amazon S3 dataset, go to .

  2. In the Access Secret field, provide the secret key that is associated with the access key.

  3. From the Region dropdown list, select the AWS Region to send the authentication request to.

  4. In the Session Token field, provide the session token to use for the authentication request.

  5. To test the credentials, click Test AWS Connection.

Setting the output location

Under Select Output Location, select the cloud storage folder where Textual writes the output files for the dataset.

When you generate output for a cloud storage dataset, Textual creates a folder in the output location. The folder name is the identifier of the job that generated the files.

Within the job folder, Textual recreates the folder structure for the original files.

Textual then writes the output files to the corresponding folders.
