# CreateBucketMetadataTableConfiguration
<a name="API_CreateBucketMetadataTableConfiguration"></a>

**Important**  
 We recommend that you create your S3 Metadata configurations by using the V2 [CreateBucketMetadataConfiguration](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_CreateBucketMetadataConfiguration.html) API operation. We no longer recommend using the V1 `CreateBucketMetadataTableConfiguration` API operation.   
If you created your S3 Metadata configuration before July 15, 2025, we recommend that you delete and re-create your configuration by using [CreateBucketMetadataConfiguration](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_CreateBucketMetadataConfiguration.html) so that you can expire journal table records and create a live inventory table.

Creates a V1 S3 Metadata configuration for a general purpose bucket. For more information, see [Accelerating data discovery with S3 Metadata](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/metadata-tables-overview.html) in the *Amazon S3 User Guide*.

Permissions  
To use this operation, you must have the following permissions. For more information, see [Setting up permissions for configuring metadata tables](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/metadata-tables-permissions.html) in the *Amazon S3 User Guide*.  
If you want to encrypt your metadata tables with server-side encryption with AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) keys (SSE-KMS), you need additional permissions. For more information, see [ Setting up permissions for configuring metadata tables](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/metadata-tables-permissions.html) in the *Amazon S3 User Guide*.  
If you also want to integrate your table bucket with AWS analytics services so that you can query your metadata table, you need additional permissions. For more information, see [ Integrating Amazon S3 Tables with AWS analytics services](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/s3-tables-integrating-aws.html) in the *Amazon S3 User Guide*.
