Every Amazon S3 bucket name is unique. Therefore, the only way to give a bucket to another account would be:

  • Empty the bucket
  • Delete the bucket
  • Wait (might take a few hours for the name to become available)
  • Create a bucket with the same name in the other account

This would then preserve the URL to the bucket.

Access Keys and Secret Keys are tied to a specific account. In fact, you can generate multiple Access Keys via IAM. It is not possible to transfer these credentials to a different account.

Tip: When copying the content of a bucket to another bucket, make sure you use --acl bucket-owner-full-control to give control of the objects to the new account.
