<a name="access-points-manage"></a>

This section explains how to manage your Amazon S3 access points for general purpose buckets using the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface, or REST API. For information on managing access points attached to an FSx for OpenZFS volume, see [Managing your Amazon S3 access points](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/OpenZFSGuide/access-points-manage.html) in the *FSx for OpenZFS User Guide*.

**Note**  
You can only use access points to perform operations on objects. You can't use access points to perform other Amazon S3 operations, such as deleting buckets or creating S3 Replication configurations. For a complete list of S3 operations that support access points, see [Access point compatibility](access-points-service-api-support.md).
