-Please note that the permissions required by the admin user on the target cluster can be more fine grained to exclude permissions like `s3:ReplicateDelete`, `s3:GetBucketObjectLockConfiguration` etc. depending on whether delete replication rules are set up or if object locking is disabled on `destbucket`. The above policies assume that replication of objects, tags and delete marker replication are all enabled on object lock enabled buckets. A sample script to setup replication is provided [here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/bucket/replication/setup.sh) for convenience.

 Once successfully created and authorized, the `mc admin bucket remote add` command generates a replication target ARN.  This command lists all the currently authorized replication targets:
