# Viewing an access point policy for an S3 on Outposts access point
<a name="S3OutpostsAccessPointGetPolicy"></a>

Access points have distinct permissions and network controls that Amazon S3 on Outposts applies for any request that is made through that access point. Each access point enforces a customized access point policy that works in conjunction with the bucket policy that is attached to the underlying bucket. For more information, see [Access points](S3OutpostsWorkingBuckets.md#S3OutpostsAP).

For more information about working with access points in S3 on Outposts, see [Working with S3 on Outposts buckets](S3OutpostsWorkingBuckets.md).

The following topics show you how to view your S3 on Outposts access point policy by using the Amazon Web Services Management Console, Amazon Command Line Interface (Amazon CLI), and Amazon SDK for Java.

The following SDK for Java example gets a policy for an Outposts access point.

```
import com.amazonaws.services.s3control.model.*;

public void getAccessPointPolicy(String accessPointArn) {

    GetAccessPointPolicyRequest reqGetAccessPointPolicy = new GetAccessPointPolicyRequest()
            .withAccountId(AccountId)
            .withName(accessPointArn);

    GetAccessPointPolicyResult respGetAccessPointPolicy = s3ControlClient.getAccessPointPolicy(reqGetAccessPointPolicy);
    System.out.printf("GetAccessPointPolicy Response: %s%n", respGetAccessPointPolicy.toString());
    printWriter.printf("GetAccessPointPolicy Response: %s%n", respGetAccessPointPolicy.toString());

}
```
