Function

OBS provides access control over buckets. You can use an access policy to define whether a user can perform certain operations on a specific bucket. OBS access control can be implemented using IAM permissions, bucket policies, and ACLs (including bucket and object ACLs). For more information, see Introduction to OBS Access Control.

A bucket ACL grants permissions to another Huawei Cloud account and its IAM users, rather than the current account and its IAM users. It can grant access to both a bucket (including the objects in it) and the bucket ACL. The granted access includes view and edit permissions. You must specify a bucket name when configuring a bucket ACL. For more information, see ACLs.

This API returns the ACL of a bucket.

Restrictions

To obtain the ACL of a bucket, you must be the bucket owner or have the required permission (obs:bucket:GetBucketAcl in IAM or GetBucketAcl in a bucket policy). For details, see Introduction to OBS Access Control, IAM Custom Policies, and Creating a Custom Bucket Policy.
The mapping between OBS regions and endpoints must comply with what is listed in Regions and Endpoints.

Method

ObsClient.getBucketAcl(bucketName, extensionHeaders)

Request Parameters

Parameter	Type	Mandatory (Yes/No)	Description
bucketName	str	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. If you repeatedly create buckets of the same name in the same region, no error will be reported and the bucket properties comply with those set in the first creation request. Default value: None
extensionHeaders	dict	No	Explanation: Extension headers. Value range: See User-defined Header (SDK for Python). Default value: None

Parameter	Type	Description
status	int	Explanation: HTTP status code Value range: A status code is a group of digits ranging from 2xx (indicating successes) to 4xx or 5xx (indicating errors). It indicates the status of a response. For more information, see Status Code. Default value: None
reason	str	Explanation: Reason description. Default value: None
errorCode	str	Explanation: Error code returned by the OBS server. If the value of status is less than 300, this parameter is left blank. Default value: None

body	object	Explanation: Result content returned after the operation is successful. If the value of status is larger than 300, the value of body is null. The value varies with the API being called. For details, see Bucket-Related APIs (SDK for Python) and Object-Related APIs (SDK for Python). Default value: None

GetResult.body Type	Description
ACL	Explanation: Bucket ACL

**Table 2** ACL
Parameter	Type	Mandatory (Yes/No)	Description
owner	Owner	Yes if used as a request parameter	Explanation: Bucket owner. For details, see Table 3.
grants	list of Grant	Yes if used as a request parameter	Explanation: Grantees' permission information. For details, see Table 4.
delivered	bool	No if used as a request parameter	Explanation: Whether the bucket ACL is applied to all objects in the bucket Value range: True: The bucket ACL is applied to all objects in the bucket. False: The bucket ACL is not applied to all objects in the bucket. Default value: False

**Table 3** Owner
Parameter	Type	Mandatory (Yes/No)	Description
owner_id	str	Yes if used as a request parameter	Explanation: Account (domain) ID of the owner Value range: To obtain the account ID, see How Do I Get My Account ID and IAM User ID? (SDK for Python) Default value: None
owner_name	str	No if used as a request parameter	Explanation: Account name of the owner Value range: To obtain the account ID, see How Do I Get My Account ID and IAM User ID? (SDK for Python) Default value: None

READ_ACP	Permission to read ACL configurations A grantee with this permission can obtain the ACL of a bucket or object. A bucket or object owner has this permission for the bucket or object permanently.
WRITE_ACP	Permission to modify ACL configurations A grantee with this permission can update the ACL of a bucket or object. A bucket or object owner has this permission for the bucket or object permanently. A grantee with this permission can modify the access control policy and thus the grantee obtains full access permissions.
