@mhoeber , @srpearce please copy edit.
@ahodges -- they would not see the edx-course-data bucket if they log in
without specifying it. They might need to explicitly specify this bucket in
the connection window.

E.g. Using your AWS public and secret key, connect to the
**edx-course-data** bucket directly, and then ...

(Would they understand to try this if we just say 'open the bucket' ? I
would not want to over-complicate.)
