# Determining whether you can access an Amazon S3 compatible storage on Snowball Edge bucket on a Snowball Edge
<a name="working-s3-snow-buckets-determine-bucket-access-s3-snow"></a>

The following example uses the `head-bucket` command to determine if an Amazon S3 bucket exists and you have permissions to access it using the AWS CLI. To use this command, replace each user input placeholder with your own information.

```
aws s3api head-bucket --bucket sample-bucket --endpoint-url https://s3api-endpoint-ip --profile your-profile
```
