-To use Zonal endpoint API operations (object-level, or data plane operations), except for `CopyObject` and `HeadBucket`, you use the `CreateSession` API operation to create and manage sessions that are optimized for low-latency authorization of data requests. To retrieve and use a session token, you must allow the `s3express:CreateSession` action for your directory bucket in an identity-based policy or a bucket policy. For more information, see [Authorizing Regional endpoint API operations with IAM](./s3-express-security-iam.html). If you're accessing S3 Express One Zone in the Amazon S3 console, through the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or by using the AWS SDKs, S3 Express One Zone creates a session on your behalf.
