Provide S3 bucket access to Any Authenticated AWS user in the new console

I am trying to provide full access for "Any Authenticated AWS User" to my S3 Bucket. The old S3 console has an option as below to do this:

enter image description here

The new console doesn't have a similar option any more. I am switching to the old console now to enable this option but the old console is going to be inaccessible soon by Aug 31st 2017. Any idea how can i do this in the new Console ? If not a UI option , at least with a bucket policy ?

I strongly advise against that. You are opening yourself up to an incredibly large number of potential issues.

What if somebody uploads 10PB of data to your bucket? Your bill would be at least $260k for that month.

What if somebody uploads copyrighted material (or any kind of illegal material) to your bucket? You would be responsible for the likely illegal distribution of copyrighted material.

Many, many companies are actively scanning their buckets to find those that have open write privileges and taking action to remediate that ASAP! Even some of the security related services from AWS will complain if you do that. As an example, Trusted Advisor has a built-in rule to detect and notify you against what you are trying to do.

If you describe the problem you are trying to solve, you might get betters suggestions.
