Granting Anonymous Users the Public Read Permission for a Bucket

Scenario

If a bucket needs to be accessed by anonymous users, you can configure a bucket policy and bucket ACL to grant the access permission to anonymous users. The following uses a bucket policy as an example.

Configuration Precautions

In this case, the preset template Public Read allows all accounts to perform the following actions on a bucket and the objects in it:

  • HeadBucket (to check whether the bucket exists and obtain the bucket metadata)
  • GetBucketLocation (to get the bucket location)
  • GetObject (to obtain object content and metadata)
  • ListBucketVersions (to list object versions in the bucket)
  • RestoreObject (to restore objects from Archive storage)
  • GetObjectVersion (to obtain the content and metadata of a specified object version)

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane of OBS Console, choose Object Storage.
  2. In the bucket list, click the bucket name you want to go to the Objects page.
  3. In the navigation pane, choose Permissions > Bucket Policy.
  4. On the Bucket Policies page, click Create.
  5. On the displayed page, locate the row containing Public Read and click Use Policy Template.
  6. Configure parameters for a bucket policy.
