   This module creates an S3 bucket with support for versioning, lifecycles, object locks, replication, encryption, ACL,
   bucket object policies, and static website hosting.
 
-  If `user_enabled` variable is set to `true`, the module will provision a basic IAM user with permissions to access the bucket.
-  This basic IAM system user is suitable for CI/CD systems (_e.g._ TravisCI, CircleCI) or systems which are *external* to AWS that cannot leverage
-  [AWS IAM Instance Profiles](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_use_switch-role-ec2_instance-profiles.html) 
-  or [AWS OIDC](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_providers_create_oidc.html) to authenticate and
-  do not already have IAM credentials. Users or systems that have IAM credentials should either be granted access directly based on
-  their IAM identity via `privileged_principal_arns` or be allowed to assume an IAM role with access.

+  For backward compatibility, it sets the S3 bucket ACL to `private` and the `s3_object_ownership`
+  to `ObjectWriter`. Moving forward, setting `s3_object_ownership` to `BucketOwnerEnforced` is recommended,
+  and doing so automatically disables the ACL.
+
   This module blocks public access to the bucket by default. See `block_public_acls`, `block_public_policy`,
   `ignore_public_acls`, and `restrict_public_buckets` to change the settings. See [AWS documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/access-control-block-public-access.html)

+
+  This module can optionally create an IAM User with access to the S3 bucket. This is inherently insecure in that
+  to enable anyone to become the User, access keys must be generated, and anything generated by Terraform is stored
+  unencrypted in the Terraform state. See the [Terraform documentation](https://www.terraform.io/docs/state/sensitive-data.html) for more details
+
+  The best way to grant access to the bucket is to grant one or more IAM Roles access to the bucket via `privileged_principal_arns`.
+  This IAM Role can be assumed by EC2 instances via their Instance Profile, or Kubernetes (EKS) services using
+  [IRSA](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/iam-roles-for-service-accounts.html).
+  Entities outside of AWS can assume the Role via [OIDC](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_providers_create_oidc.html). 
+  (See [this example of connecting GitHub](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/use-iam-roles-to-connect-github-actions-to-actions-in-aws/)
+  to enable GitHub actions to assume AWS IAM roles, or use [this Cloud Posse component](https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-components/tree/main/modules/github-oidc-provider)
+  if you are already using the Cloud Posse reference architecture.)
+
+  If neither of those approaches work, then as a last resort you can set `user_enabled = true` and
+  this module will provision a basic IAM user with permissions to access the bucket.
+  We do not recommend creating IAM users this way for any other purpose.
 
   If an IAM user is created, the IAM user name is constructed using [terraform-null-label](https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-null-label)
   and some input is required. The simplest input is `name`. By default the name will be converted to lower case
   and all non-alphanumeric characters except for hyphen will be removed. See the documentation for `terraform-null-label`
   to learn how to override these defaults if desired.
 
   If an AWS Access Key is created, it is stored either in SSM Parameter Store or is provided as a module output,
-  but not both. Using SSM Parameter Store is recommended because module outputs are stored in plaintext in
-  the Terraform state file.
+  but not both. Using SSM Parameter Store is recommended because that will keep the secret from being easily accessible
+  via Terraform remote state lookup, but the key will still be stored unencrypted in the Terraform state in any case.
