AWS S3 ListBuckets operation: Access Denied

I'm trying to list buckets following the boto3 documentation.

import boto3

s3 = boto3.client(service_name = 's3',
                  region_name = 'us-east-2',
                  aws_access_key_id='xxxxxx',
                  aws_secret_access_key= 'xxxxx'
                 )

response = s3.list_buckets()

# Output the bucket names
print('Existing buckets:')
for bucket in response['Buckets']:
    print(f'  {bucket["Name"]}')

But it turns out with an error, which says

ClientError: An error occurred (AccessDenied) when calling the ListBuckets operation: Access Denied

I found some similar posts for this error, but I still don't know how to fix mine. Any help would be appreciated.

I tried to run your code and everything worked properly. And you don't have to specify region_name 'cause anyway you will get all buckets. And then I tried to remove permission to s3 from my user and got the same error. I guess you're getting such an error because of your user's policy. You should attach content of your policy to the question.
