# that is named AllowAllS3Actions. The JSON string in the content
# parameter specifies the content in the policy. The parameter string is
# escaped with backslashes to ensure that the embedded double quotes in
# the JSON policy are treated as literals in the parameter, which itself
# is surrounded by double quotes:
