Configuring an Object ACL (SDK for Node.js)

If you have any questions during development, post them on the Issues page of GitHub.

Function

OBS allows you to control access to objects. By default, only object creators have the read and write permissions on the object. However, the creator can set a public access policy to assign the read permission to all other users. If an object is encrypted with SSE-KMS, the ACL configured for it is not in effect in the cross-tenant case.

You can set an ACL when uploading an object or call an ACL API to modify or obtain the ACL of an existing object.

Like bucket access (for details, see Configuring a Bucket ACL (SDK for Node.js)), object access supports pre-defined ACLs and direct access configurations.

An object ACL can be configured in any of the following ways:

  1. Specify a pre-defined ACL during object upload. For details, see Code Examples: Specifying a Pre-defined ACL During Object Creation.
  2. Call ObsClient.setObjectAcl to specify a pre-defined ACL. For details, see Code Examples: Specifying a Pre-defined ACL for an Existing Object.
  3. Call ObsClient.setObjectAcl to specify an ACL directly. For details, see Code Examples: Granting Object Permissions.

Method

ObsClient.setObjectAcl(params)

Request Parameters

Table 1 List of request parameters

Parameter

Type

Mandatory (Yes/No)

Description

Bucket

string

Yes

Explanation:

Bucket name

Restrictions:

  • A bucket name must be unique across all accounts and regions.
  • A bucket name:
    • Must be 3 to 63 characters long and start with a digit or letter. Lowercase letters, digits, hyphens (-), and periods (.) are allowed.
    • Cannot be formatted as an IP address.
    • Cannot start or end with a hyphen (-) or period (.).
    • Cannot contain two consecutive periods (..), for example, my..bucket.
    • Cannot contain a period (.) and a hyphen (-) adjacent to each other, for example, my-.bucket or my.-bucket.
  • If you repeatedly create buckets with the same name in the same region, no error will be reported, and the bucket attributes comply with those set in the first creation request.

Value range:

The value can contain 3 to 63 characters.

Default value:

None

Key

string

Yes

Explanation:

Object name. An object is uniquely identified by an object name in a bucket. An object name is a complete path of the object that does not contain the bucket name.

For example, if the address for accessing the object is examplebucket.obs.eu-west-101.myhuaweicloud.com/folder/test.txt, the object name is folder/test.txt.

Restrictions:

None

Value range:

The value can contain 1 to 1,024 characters.

Default value:

None

VersionId

string

No

Explanation:

Object version ID, for example, G001117FCE89978B0000401205D5DC9A

Restrictions:

None

Value range:

The value must contain 32 characters.

Default value:

None

Owner

Owner

No

Explanation:

Restrictions:

  • Owner and Grants must be used together, and they cannot be used with ACL.
  • You must specify either ACL or the combination of Owner and Grants.

Value range:

See Table 3.

Default value:

None

Delivered

boolean

No

Explanation:

Whether the ACL of the bucket applies to its objects

Value range:

  • true: The ACL of the bucket applies to its objects.
  • false: The ACL of the bucket does not apply to its objects.

Default value:

None

Grants

Grant[]

No

Explanation:

Grantees and permissions

Restrictions:

  • Owner and Grants must be used together, and they cannot be used with ACL.
  • You must specify either ACL or the combination of Owner and Grants.

Value range:

See Table 4.

Default value:

None
Table 2 AclType

Constant

Default Value

Description

ObsClient.enums.AclPrivate

private

Private read and write

A bucket or object can only be accessed by its owner.

ObsClient.enums.AclPublicRead

public-read

Public read and private write

If this permission is granted on a bucket, anyone can read the object list, multipart uploads, metadata, and object versions in the bucket.

If this permission is granted on an object, everyone can obtain the content and metadata of the object.

ObsClient.enums.AclPublicReadWrite

public-read-write

Public read and write

If this permission is granted on a bucket, anyone can read the object list, multipart tasks, metadata, and object versions in the bucket and can upload or delete objects, initiate multipart upload tasks, upload parts, assemble parts, copy parts, and abort multipart upload tasks.

If this permission is granted on an object, everyone can obtain the content and metadata of the object.

ObsClient.enums.AclPublicReadDelivered

public-read-delivered

Public read on a bucket as well as the objects in the bucket.

If this permission is granted on a bucket, anyone can read the object list, multipart tasks, metadata, and object versions and read the content and metadata of objects in the bucket.

NOTE:

AclPublicReadDelivered does not apply to objects.

ObsClient.enums.AclPublicReadWriteDelivered

public-read-write-delivered

Public read and write on a bucket as well as the objects in the bucket.

If this permission is granted on a bucket, anyone can read the object list, multipart uploads, metadata, and object versions in the bucket and can upload or delete objects, initiate multipart upload tasks, upload parts, assemble parts, copy parts, and abort multipart uploads. They can also read the content and metadata of objects in the bucket.

NOTE:

AclPublicReadWriteDelivered does not apply to objects.

ObsClient.enums.AclBucketOwnerFullControl

bucket-owner-full-control

If this permission is granted on an object, only the bucket and object owners have the full control over the object.

By default, if you upload an object to a bucket of any other user, the bucket owner does not have the permissions on your object. After you grant this policy to the bucket owner, the bucket owner can have full control over your object. For example, if user A uploads object x to user B's bucket, user B does not have the control over object x. If user A sets the bucket-owner-full-control policy for object x, user B then has the control over object x.
