Hi FME Community,

I came across the following notice in the AWS S3 API documentation about the Owner object:

“Beginning November 21, 2025, Amazon S3 will stop returning DisplayName. Update your applications to use canonical IDs (unique identifier for AWS accounts), AWS account IDs (12-digit identifiers), or IAM ARNs (full resource naming) as a direct replacement for DisplayName. Between July 15 and November 21, 2025, you will begin to see an increasing rate of missing DisplayName values in the Owner object.”
Reference – AWS Documentation

Could you please confirm whether this upcoming change will (or might) affect how FME Flow interacts with Amazon S3 — for example, any components that depend on the Owner object or its DisplayName field?

Environment:

  • OS: Ubuntu

  • FME Flow 2023.2.1 and 2025.1.1

Thank you in advance for your guidance!

Hi ​@sei

This change should not affect FME Flow features (S3 external action in Automations, S3 subscriber in notifications, S3 resource connections, etc) as they do not rely on the DisplayName field.
