# Buckets

the platform Buckets are **S3 compatible object stores** which allow you to store any unstructured data. Think of buckets as different workspaces, for instance, a repository of photos or videos.

## Iceberg bucket

The Buckets screen also lists your project's **Iceberg bucket**: the object storage holding the data of your [Lakehouse Manager tables](/en/product/lakehouse-manager/tables/index.md).

?> The Iceberg bucket is **read-only**. You can browse its files, but you cannot upload, modify, or delete anything in it, and the bucket itself cannot be deleted. To work with the data it contains, use your project's [tables](/en/product/lakehouse-manager/tables/index.md) and the [Explorer](/en/product/lakehouse-manager/explorer/index.md).

## Manage permissions on buckets 

You can also manage how each user is allowed to interact with the buckets. These permissions are managed on the [Identity Access Manager](/en/product/iam/index). 

For details refer to the following article:
- [Roles and conditions: Add a role condition to a specific bucket](/en/product/iam/users/roles?id=add-a-role-condition-on-a-specific-bucket)
