Managing Object ACLs

Access control lists (ACLs) allow resource owners to grant other accounts the permissions to access resources. By default, only the resource owner has full control over resources when a bucket or object is created. That is, the bucket creator has full control over the bucket, and the object uploader has full control over the object. Other accounts do not have the permissions to access resources. If resource owners want to grant other accounts the read and write permissions on resources, they can use ACLs. ACLs grant permissions to accounts. After an account is granted permissions, both the account and its IAM users can access the resources.

For more information, see ACLs.

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.

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

1. Specify a pre-defined ACL during object upload.
2. Call ObsClient.setObjectAcl to specify a pre-defined ACL.
3. Call ObsClient.setObjectAcl to specify a user-defined ACL.

// 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 ACCESS_KEY_ID and SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_ID.
// 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.
String ak = System.getenv("ACCESS_KEY_ID");
String sk = System.getenv("SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_ID");
String endPoint = "https://your-endpoint";

// Create an ObsClient instance.
final ObsClient obsClient = new ObsClient(ak, sk, endPoint);

PutObjectRequest request = new PutObjectRequest();
request.setBucketName("bucketname");
request.setObjectKey("objectname");
request.setFile(new File("localfile")); // localfile indicates the path of the local file to be uploaded. You need to specify the file name.
// Set the ACL of the object to public read.
request.setAcl(AccessControlList.REST_CANNED_PUBLIC_READ);
obsClient.putObject(request);

// Set the object ACL to private read and write.
obsClient.setObjectAcl("bucketname", "objectname", AccessControlList.REST_CANNED_PRIVATE);

Setting a User-defined Object ACL

Sample code:

// 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 ACCESS_KEY_ID and SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_ID.
// 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.
String ak = System.getenv("ACCESS_KEY_ID");
String sk = System.getenv("SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_ID");
String endPoint = "https://your-endpoint";

// Create an ObsClient instance.
final ObsClient obsClient = new ObsClient(ak, sk, endPoint);

AccessControlList acl = new AccessControlList();
Owner owner = new Owner();
owner.setId("ownerid");
acl.setOwner(owner);
// Grant the FULL_CONTROL permission to a specified user.
acl.grantPermission(new CanonicalGrantee("userid"), Permission.PERMISSION_FULL_CONTROL);
// Grant the READ permission to all users.
acl.grantPermission(GroupGrantee.ALL_USERS, Permission.PERMISSION_READ);
obsClient.setObjectAcl("bucketname", "objectname", acl);

The owner or grantee ID needed in the ACL indicates the account ID, which can be viewed on the My Credentials page of OBS Console.

AccessControlList acl = obsClient.getObjectAcl("bucketname", "objectname");
Log.i("GetObjectAcl", acl);
