The [`alias`](/reference/minio-mc/mc-alias/#command-mc.alias) of a configured MinIO deployment on which the desired tier exists.

You **must** specify the tier in all-caps, e.g. `WARM_TIER`.

## Example {#example}

### S3 Compatibility {#s3-compatibility}

The **`mc`** commandline tool is built for compatibility with the AWS S3 API and is tested with MinIO and AWS S3 for expected functionality and behavior.

MinIO provides no guarantees for other S3-compatible services, as their S3 API implementation is unknown and therefore unsupported. While **`mc`** commands *may* work as documented, any such usage is at your own risk.

## Required Permissions {#required-permissions}

For permissions required to review a tier, refer to the [required permissions](/reference/minio-mc/mc-ilm-tier/#minio-mc-ilm-tier-permissions) on the parent command.
