Setting an ACL for an Object Version (SDK for Java)

Function

OBS allows the control of access permissions for objects. By default, only object creators have the read and write permissions on the object. You can set access control policies for objects. For example, if an object is configured with the public access policy, all users are allowed to read the object. 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.

Restrictions

  • An object ACL supports a maximum of 100 grants.

Method

obsClient.setObjectAcl(SetObjectAclRequest request)

Request Parameters

Table 1 List of request parameters

Parameter

Type

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 periods (.) and hyphens (-) adjacent to each other, for example, my-.bucket or my.-bucket.
