Management Bucket Policies

If you have any questions during development, post them on the Issues page of GitHub. For details about parameters and usage of each API, see the API Reference.

Besides bucket ACLs, bucket owners can use bucket policies to centrally control access to buckets and objects in buckets.

For more information, see Bucket Policy.

Setting a Bucket Policy

You can call ObsClient.setBucketPolicy to set bucket policies. Sample code is as follows:

// Create an instance of ObsClient.
var obsClient = new ObsClient({
    // Hard-coded or plaintext AK/SK are risky. For security purposes, encrypt your AK/SK and store them in the configuration file or environment variables. In this example, the AK/SK are stored in environment variables for identity authentication. Before running this example, configure environment variables AccessKeyID and SecretAccessKey.
    // The front-end code does not have the process environment variable, so you need to use a module bundler like webpack to define the process variable.
    // Obtain an AK/SK pair on the management console. For details, see https://support.huaweicloud.com/intl/en-us/usermanual-ca/ca_01_0003.html.
    access_key_id: process.env.AccessKeyID,
    secret_access_key: process.env.SecretAccessKey,
    // Replace the example endpoint with the actual one in your case.
    server: 'https://obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com'
});
// Bucket name
const bucketName = 'bucketname';
// Bucket policy
const policy =  "{\"Statement\":[{\"Principal\":\"*\",\"Effect\":\"Allow\",\"Action\":\"ListBucket\",\"Resource\":\""+bucketName+"\"}]}";
//Set a bucket policy.
obsClient.setBucketPolicy({
       Bucket: bucketName,
       Policy: policy
}, function(err, result) {
       if(err){
              console.error('Error-->' + err);
       }else{
              console.log('Status-->' + result.CommonMsg.Status);
       }
});

For details about the format (JSON character string) of bucket policies, see the Object Storage Service API Reference.

Obtaining a Bucket Policy

You can call ObsClient.getBucketPolicy to obtain bucket policies. Sample code is as follows:

// Create an instance of ObsClient.
var obsClient = new ObsClient({
    // Hard-coded or plaintext AK/SK are risky. For security purposes, encrypt your AK/SK and store them in the configuration file or environment variables. In this example, the AK/SK are stored in environment variables for identity authentication. Before running this example, configure environment variables AccessKeyID and SecretAccessKey.
    // The front-end code does not have the process environment variable, so you need to use a module bundler like webpack to define the process variable.
    // Obtain an AK/SK pair on the management console. For details, see https://support.huaweicloud.com/intl/en-us/usermanual-ca/ca_01_0003.html.
    access_key_id: process.env.AccessKeyID,
    secret_access_key: process.env.SecretAccessKey,
    // Replace the example endpoint with the actual one in your case.
    server: 'https://obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com'
});

// Obtain the bucket policy.
obsClient.getBucketPolicy({
       Bucket: 'bucketname',
}, function(err, result) {
       if(err){
              console.error('Error-->' + err);
       }else{
              console.log('Status-->' + result.CommonMsg.Status);
              if(result.CommonMsg.Status < 300 && result.InterfaceResult){
                     console.log('Policy-->' + result.InterfaceResult.Policy);
              }
       }
});

Deleting a Bucket Policy

You can call ObsClient.deleteBucketPolicy to delete a bucket policy. Sample code is as follows:

// Create an instance of ObsClient.
var obsClient = new ObsClient({
    // Hard-coded or plaintext AK/SK are risky. For security purposes, encrypt your AK/SK and store them in the configuration file or environment variables. In this example, the AK/SK are stored in environment variables for identity authentication. Before running this example, configure environment variables AccessKeyID and SecretAccessKey.
    // The front-end code does not have the process environment variable, so you need to use a module bundler like webpack to define the process variable.
    // Obtain an AK/SK pair on the management console. For details, see https://support.huaweicloud.com/intl/en-us/usermanual-ca/ca_01_0003.html.
    access_key_id: process.env.AccessKeyID,
    secret_access_key: process.env.SecretAccessKey,
    // Replace the example endpoint with the actual one in your case.
    server: 'https://obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com'
});

// Delete a bucket policy.
obsClient.deleteBucketPolicy({
       Bucket: 'bucketname'
}, function(err, result) {
       if(err){
              console.error('Error-->' + err);
       }else{
              console.log('Status-->' + result.CommonMsg.Status);
       }
});
